My favourite movie, a great place to work, and so many memories. Happy Birthday VLA!!!

The Very Large Array, part of The National Radio Astronomy Observatory, was formally dedicated #OTD in 1980.

It was renamed the "Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array" in 2012. Happy 45th birthday, VLA! 🧪 🔭 📡

An image from the movie “Contact” shows Jodie Foster’s character listening to headphones in front of a line of VLA radio dishes that stretch off towards the horizon. One of the dishes is my shaggy golden doodle Linus, wearing a post-surgery cone around his head.

I visited Bob Dixon, who served as director of the Big Ear radio telescope from 1973 to 1998. He was the driving force behind the Big Ear's SETI project that captured the legendary Wow! Signal. #AreciboWow #SETI #Astronomy #Astrophysics #WowSignal

Many of us remember what a sanctuary Crouton & Friends was for US during the scary early days of lockdown. It was a source of calm & sanity in the face of the unknown.

Now they need our help. Let’s thank them for everything they do by donating to keep the sanctuary we love alive.

LFG, Croutonia!

How can you say no to these faces?

This lovely sanctuary, its precious animals, and its beloved partners, staff, and volunteers saw so many of us through the darkest days of the pandemic. It's heartbreaking that it has to end, but with our continued support they will find loving homes and Beth can recover her health. Please donate. ♥️
