Description
Raw observations from a university radio telescope, recorded to tape and never fully analysed.
Provenance
Donated by the creator’s family in 2003. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. A handful of files survive, from a much larger whole.
