   Radio astronomy history in a Nutshell. Radio astronomy began with KarlJansky s discovery, in 1932, of a strong source of radio static  
   http://www.radiosky.com/ra01.html
   
   Extractions: Radio astronomy began with Karl Jansky's discovery, in 1932, of a strong source of radio static which originated from the central region of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Jansky was using a rotating antenna and a receiver operating at 20.7 Mhz. Jansky's work was largely ignored except by a young engineer in Wheaton, Illinois named Grote Reber. Karl Jansky and his rotating 20.7 Mhz antenna. Reber, using his own funds and enormous personal effort constructed a fully steerable parabolic dish antenna. He built and used numerous receivers operating at a number of wavelengths and slowly was able to construct a sky map based on the strength of the radio signals emanating from the regions of the sky covered by his antenna. Not much else happened in the field until after World War II, when many scientists found themselves free of military concerns and armed with a wealth of new technology which sprung from the conflict. Radar had pushed the ability to receive signals to shorter and shorter wavelengths where antennas of reasonable size could be built to examine smaller regions of the sky (narrow beam widths). Grote Reber's original dish today at the NRAO in West Virginia.

    Extractions: Greek astronomer Aristarchus 310-230 BC, was the first to maintain the earth rotated around the sun and that the earth revolved on its axis once every 24 hours. It was dismissed at the time, but centuries later would be proved correct. Also Greek astronomer Ptolemy theory that the universe revolved around the Earth was in use for 1300 years. Disposing of this theory was Polish astronomer Copernicus who assigned the Sun as centre and the planets revolved around it.
