Abstract

"Star Noise: Discovering the Radio Universe" is a comprehensive overview of the history of radio astronomy, covering 90 years of research. The book explores the early pioneers of radio astronomy, such as Karl Jansky and Grote Reber, and the rapid growth of the field after World War II. It discusses the serendipitous nature of many discoveries in radio astronomy and highlights the impact of radio astronomy on our understanding of the universe. The book also addresses sociological aspects of radio astronomy and future challenges in the field. Overall, it provides a valuable resource for those interested in the history and development of radio astronomy. [Extracted from the article]
