Website Updated, https://about.me/paase

Our website has been updated.  In partnership with Harvard University to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the detection of neutral hydrogen in the Milky Way Galaxy at a wavelength of 21 cm that occurred on March 25, 1951 on the 4th floor of the Lyman Physic Laboratory at Harvard University by Harold "Doc" Ewen, Ph.D. and his thesis advisor Edward Purcell, Ph.D.  https://about.me/paase  

Astronomy Celebration Next 2 Years at Harvard Univ., NRAO, Green Bank Observatory, and Around The World

Greetings to all at NRAO, Harvard, Green Bank Observatory, and lovers of Radio Astronomy: A lot has happened in preparation of next year's celebration and it could not have been done without all of you.   I give you all my heartfelt appreciation.  I wanted to give you an update as to where we are.  Also, I wanted to put "the team" on one email thread originating from PAASE Institute https://about.me/paase   If you know anyone else, I should add to the distribution, please let me know. March 25, 2021 will be the 70th anniversary of  the first detection of radio radiation from neutral atomic hydrogen in the Milky Way at a wavelength of 21 centimeters at Lyman Laboratory of Physics at Harvard University in 1951.  This effort was completed by Harold I. Ewen, Ph.D. and his thesis advisor Edward M. Purcell, Ph.D.  Today, the horn antenna sits at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia.  In the following year, Saturday, March 5, 2022 will b...

Planning the Celebration of 70th Anniversary of Detection of Neutral Hydrogen (21 cm line)

Greetings, In the summer of 2019, I had proposed a 70th anniversary celebration of the detection of neutral hydrogen that my father was involved in. Dr. Harold I Ewen’s (“Doc Ewen”) 1951 PhD thesis, “Radiation from Galactic Hydrogen at 1420 Megacycles per Second,” reported on the first detection of a spectral line in radio astronomy. His advisor at Harvard University was Dr. Edward M. Purcell.    The horn antenna used for detection at the Lyman Laboratory of Harvard University is now displayed in front of the Jansky Lab at NRAO in Green Bank, West Virginia . As I followed up in May 2020 as planned to prepare for the 2021 festivities, the world had already been immersed in the COVID-19 Pandemic .   All industries were shutting down and quarantine requirements were implemented.    The original plan to build and launch a 2021 celebration of the 1951 achievement had to be shelved. The PAASE Institute was developed to satisfy the need As the PAASE Institute gets r...
