An Open House and Tour of the OSU Radio Observatory (Big Ear) will be held
this Saturday (May 14) from 1 to 5 pm. The Big Ear Radio Telescope is the
size of three football fields, and is the site of the Earth's longest-running
search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Everyone is invited, and tours will
start about every 20 minutes and last about an hour. The complete technical
operation of the telescope will be explained and demonstrated, and radio 
pictures of all visitors will be taken and given out. In addition, short
lectures and question sessions about the philosophical aspects of the
search for life outside the Earth will be part of the tour. The Flag of
Earth will be flying, and will be explained. Refreshments and souvenirs
will be available.

The Radio Observatory is located on the East side of State Route 23 between 
Worthington and Delaware. It is a few miles south of Delaware, and just south
of the intersection of routes 23 and 315. There is a sign at the driveway.
This is the same driveway that leads to Perkins Observatory, but the Radio
Observatory is further along the driveway. Take all LEFT hand turns on
the driveway. Call 292-6789 if you have any questions.
