[Big Ear]

Big Ear Two
Listening for Other-Worlds
Big Ear Two is our adventure story of the exploration of the universe and the search for other-men. A universe so vast and mysterious it boggles the mind. An astounding, baffling, stranger-than-fiction universe of pulsars, quasars and black holes.

Big Ear Two is a personal, behind-the-scenes account of astronomers, engineers, inventors -- humans all -- their successes and failures. It is a story about the steel and aluminum structures we have raised to probe the cosmos and our attempt to answer the question "Are we alone?"
