KENNEDY ANTENNAS… Probe the secrets of inter-stellar space

Somewhere in the nearly empty reaches of outer space, two hydrogen atoms collide. After a 100-million year journey at the speed of light, the signal generated by that accidental collision reaches a super-sensitive radio telescope antenna in Massachusetts and is recorded — and so one grain more is added to man’s knowledge of the universe.

Modern miracles like this happen every day at Harvard University’s Agassiz Station Observatory, where a giant new radio telescope, with its 60′ Kennedy antenna, is taking man further back in time . . . and further out into space . . . than he has ever been before.
