About three years ago, I visited the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array while staying with a couple of friends who run an AirBnB in Magdalena, NM, which is probably more than you wanted to know already, but I’m told that it’s just this kind of rich detail that Google loves, so there you go.

The Very Large Array is a radio astronomy observatory, which basically means it’s listening to the stars, where optical telescopes look at the light waves stuff. They listen to radio waves emitted by stars, planets, and a lot of other celestial stuff, and they were the first to discover that the Cubs’ 107 year World Series winning drought was due to the franchise having been sucked into a black hole from 1909 to 2015.

Yes, I can bring pretty much any thought back to baseball.

So this is my interpretation of what it would be like to listen to the cosmos. A cosmic way to spend a day.
