🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:

If you ask me, this is the definitive film about radio astronomy. Carl Sagan had a way of making the science feel spiritual, and Jodie Foster captures that perfectly. The scene where she is listening to the static at the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico and suddenly hears that pulsing signal? It gives me goosebumps every time.

It’s not just about aliens; it’s about the human pursuit of truth. And of course, it gave us one of the best lines in astronomy history: "If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space."
