I worked on the instrumentation of the Green Bank telescope. They system designed to help this huge dish keep its parabolic shape.

I was there for the day it was turned on. Right before the ceremony (had to listen to Byrd tell us how wonderful he was for over an hour) Well anyway they had found a quasar and played the sound through the PA system. It sounded just like a heartbeat. Not a little but exactly like one. We have a lot to learn.
