Signal To Noise

A rhythmic and graphic time-lapse of our extraterrestrial ears (radio telescopes) at the Very Large Array.

It’s right down the road from Albuquerque, NM, where I was born. You should really see it someday. Very Contact. Here’s what it looks like from up above.

Also, because who wants to work on a Monday morning?! Watch this instead.
