6. Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory

Well the answer is the science of radio astronomy.

This was originally, when radio astronomy began, Mr. Jansky, at the Bell labs, detected radio waves coming from the sky.

And that, of course, that set back the progress of radio astronomy by about 20 years.

There's a long history in astronomy of unlikely things turning out to be there. And I mean, the finest example of that was radio astronomy as a whole.

Within the same complex as the Satellite Applications Centre, South Africa operates the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HARTRAO).

Fifty years on from Watson's accidental encounter with the Sun, Jansky's careful listening ushered in a new age of space exploration the radio astronomy age.

Observations of gas clouds associated with the high redshift quasar PC 1643 4631A using the 42 and 12 meter radio telescopes at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO Kitt Peak, Arizona) have revealed the presence of carbon monoxide emission.

Well, of course, as soon as anybody did look, which was after about 20 years, when radio astronomy really took off. Because it turned out the universe is absolutely full of all kinds of wonderful things radiating in the radio spectrum, much brighter than the Sun.

They are very interested in astronomy.

The fifth X ray astronomy satellite (ASTRO E) and an infrared astronomy satellite are being studied for launch in the late 1990s.

What does astronomy tell us about the starry firmament above ?

New partnerships, for example, include Radio 10 in Guatemala, Radio Post Phillip in Australia and Communidad 100 in Argentina and three more stations in China Radio Sichuan, Radio Lianing and Radio Ji Lin.

In infrared astronomy, observations from stratospheric balloons and sounding rockets have been conducted.

So here in astronomy, you have this vast explosion of new productive resources.

It's going to change the way we do astronomy, it's going to change the way we teach astronomy and I think most importantly it's going to change the way we see ourselves in the universe.

I was a member of the astronomy club, and I should have known better.

My colleagues in infra red astronomy call minus 200 Kelvin is cool for them.
