A black and white landscape photo of a very large radio telescope dish. The dish sits on a single pedestal. It points up and toward the right. Sagebrush is in the foreground and a large mountain in the background. Big clouds in the sky frame the outline of the telescope's four pyramidal feed support legs. The cloudless part of the sky is very dark as if a red filter had been used.

@ambivalena Thank you! I was going to run back to a nearby town to see if I could buy some headphones, but I didn't. However, I stuck my headphones in my camping box so next time I'm down there I can make a photo like I'm listening to the universe from the movie, "Contact."
