  8. My first thought was that it looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. I was waiting for the metallic voice saying "People of Earth, attention. We come in peace."

    (Lying beggars! They never came in peace!)

  16. That's a massive, massive dish! I wonder how many thousands of pounds is spent to maintain this facility every year?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow, that is huge! Nice shot.

    ReplyDelete
  18. It reminds me of that movie with Jodie Foster when she was trying to contact the aliens. I believe it was actually called CONTACT. Great shot...Happy WW.

    Great shot. I love the film "The Dish". You must see it if you haven't yet. I also love Wallace and Gromit, so thanks for the heads up on the new film. I suppose it'll take us longer to get it over here in the U.S. But I'm looking forward to it.

  25. That's a humongous dish. That's a great angle.

  42. WOW. That thing is HUGE! and this is such a great shot - the sepia. I must start playing around with my camera and trying out stuff like this.

    And you know I love Science. thanks for sharing!

    The website of JB says 2009 is the Internat'l yr of Astronomy. I just got a notice from my society that is the Year of Science. All science, all year!

    Happy WW

  51. Hi Jams, that is a nice picture. I have always wanted to tour a radio telescope facility but never made it. I did work at an Air Force Satellite Tracking station way back when that had a 60 foot dish. It was never configured to be a telescope antenna but we did put it on the ham bands occasionally.
    Happy WW! I am very late today.
