Area 31
We all know about
Area 51 - the
Top Secret military base located near Groom Lake, Nevada.
Here is
Area 31 from our neighbors to the North.
They are doing some amazing Science -- check out these projects:
They are into their own version of SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and they managed to score these two wonderful observatories.
Here is their single TARGET dish (
Telescope
Antenna
Researching
Galactic
Extraterrestrial
Transmissions):
They also scored this 32 element Solar Interferometer array from a closed Canadian Radio Observatory and these are being pressed into service as well:
These two scopes are loitering with intent around the "water hole", a clear band of frequencies around the H line at 1420.4 MHz, as well as the Formaldehyde line at 4.83 GHz.
And of course, with this level of geekdom, there is a Tesla Coil lurking somewhere...
Very cool!
