Description
Raw observations from a university radio telescope, recorded to tape and never fully analysed.
Provenance
Donated by the creator’s family in 2016. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
