Three young astronomers are baffled once the newest team member discovers radio signals of a seemingly impossible origin on 1420.163, in the water hole.After an unexplained power surge deletes crucial recordings, the team members unite and discover that the radio signals resolve to a response to the Arecibo message, a message beamed into space via radio waves in 1974, broadcast by a spacecraft ...
By historical astronomy we include the history of astronomy; what has come to be known as archaeoastronomy; and the application of historical records to modern astrophysical problems." Historical and ancient observations are used to track theoretically long term trends, such as eclipse patterns and the velocity of nebular clouds.

Two cable breaks, one in August 2020 and a second in November 2020, threatened the structural integrity of the support structure for the suspended platform and damaged the dish. The NSF determined in November 2020 that it was safer to decommission the telescope rather than to try to repair it, but the telescope collapsed before a controlled ...
The duo had formed the Sky Publishing Corporation in late 1939 to manage a magazine called The Sky, which focused on content for the amateur astronomy community. Then in mid-1941, they took on the editorial management of another magazine, The Telescope , where articles appeared presenting scientific findings for a popular audience. [ 1 ]
