A photo of George Reber at the age of 25 or 26. He has short, dark hair, and he is wearing a white button down shirt with tie and sport coat. He is looking at the camera, and appears slightly surprised.
Radio engineer, amateur astronomer, and Chicagoan Grote Reber was born #OTD in 1911.
After reading about Karl Jansky’s accidental discovery of galactic radio emissions, he built a 9m radio telescope *in his back yard* and carried out the first radio survey of the sky. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 📡
