Science! It Works, Bitches

I grew up on Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I took astronomy classes from Yervant Terzian at Cornell. I'm a member of SETI. So seeing this--the Arecibo Radio Observatory--up close has always been a bit of a dream. And there it is: nestled between the karsts that define this part of the island's terrain. Big dish--the largest, actually, covering 49 acres. Even Karen was sort of impressed. Or she just humors her geek.
