To receive electromagnetic radio energy from the outer space, radio engineer Grote Reber built this giant dish antenna in the back yard of his home near Wheaton, Illinois, shown May 31, 1937. The huge disc, called a mirror, is mounted on a rack and faces the southern sky. It can be tilted at any angle of declination along the north-south meridian. Reber began his astro-physical experiments 10 years ago. (AP Photo/Edward Kitch)
