IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? In the search for life on other planets, astronomers at Cal Tech’s Owens Valley Radio Observatory, near Big Pine, California, are starting to make big discoveries using these refreshingly simple antennae that they build themselves from ordinary aluminum tubing, chicken wire and cake pans. A team led by Dr. Gregg Hallinan can install one of these for less than $350, enabling them to lay out scores of them in an expanding grid through the sagebrush, simulating a radio dish that is hundreds of meters wide and big enough to capture previously invisible ultra long wavelength radio signals from deep space and the birth of the universe. (By comparison, the adjacent 45-meter dish in the second picture - which they say could pick up a cell phone on Pluto - cost almost $70,000,000 adjusted for inflation.) This makes it possible to detect hints of distant planets in the galaxy that might have a magnetosphere to shield them from toxic cosmic radiation. Results are promising enough that NASA has taken interest and might use robots to deploy 128 of them on the dark side of the moon, where they would be shielded from earth’s own radio interference and yield far clearer results. Given the vastness of what they can already see, Hallinan believes that the question is no longer whether they fill find other habitable planets, but when. I grew up looking at the bigger dishes in these pictures, which are locally called "The Big Ears", and shot these pictures last summer to accompany a story by Po Bronson in the fall 2019 issue of the beautiful new California magazine, Alta (web version @altaonline). Although I was baffled by most of the underlying math and sciencel, Po managed to make sense of it in his article, which you can find at the link in my bio. @altaonline #astronomy #radio #OVRO #caltech #telescopes, #owensvalley #milkyway #stars #night #science (at Big Pine, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9YGVkGhgmn/?igshid=3fqg7c8bzxjo

Just a short afternoon getaway ride to Big Pine. I haven’t ridden out to the Big Ears in quite some time. Also stopped by the “Best Restaurant in America.” Well, according to Yelp in 2015, anyway. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon, I suppose. #ovro #owensvalleyradioobservatory #radiotelescope #coppertopbbq #bigpine #vespa #vespausa (at Owens Valley Radio Observatory) https://www.instagram.com/p/B09zEX1nVTd/?igshid=g75ams3d6vxk

I haven’t been out to the Big Ears in quite some time, so I thought I’d take a short afternoon ride out there. Also stopped by the “Beat Restaurant in America,” well, at least according to Yelp in 2015, anyway. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon, anyway... #ovro #owensvalleyradioobservatory #bigpine #coppertopbbq #vespa #vespausa (at Owens Valley Radio Observatory) https://www.instagram.com/p/B09y020njpb/?igshid=pglc0zx2qi4e
