Coming back to Gary's post, its interesting to see the other names mentioned who predate Penzias and Wilson:
Grote Reber - the US's 1st radio telescope (in his backyard); James Stanley Hey (studying Sun's effects on Radar), George Southworth (Sun observations), Martin Ryle (1st radio stars); Edward Bowen and Joseph Pawsey, of Sydney (detecting galaxies contributing to cosmic noise) …
We almost never hear these names in the media … which is a real shame.
Thanks for the post, Gary.
Very interesting.
Cheers
