NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Star Trails and the Bracewell Radio Sundial” is copyrighted by Miles Lucas. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This sundial, at the Very Large Array, commemorates radio astronomy pioneer Ronald Bracewell. It uses pieces from a solar mapping radio telescope array Bracewell built near Stanford. Sundials use shadows to measure Earth's rotation, and this one marks time with the invisible waves of the cosmos.
