The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
It is a dark August night at the Grendel Observatory in England. The bright lights, giant disk, and criss-cross girders of the world's largest radio telescope loom eerily into the black sky. Inside the Observatory, Professor Bullfinch, Dr, Hubert Badger, and Dr. Miller hunch over a special computer, awaiting the first message from outer space. Meanwhile, outside in the cool night, Danny Dunn and his friends Joe and Irene can only peer in through the window, for they have been forbidden to enter the laboratory....
Professor Bullfinch has created a radio telescope ("dish") for the government which will try to determine if extraterrestrials are trying to contact Earth. When Danny sneaks into the observatory, he hears non-random sounds coming from space. He then must figure out how to translate the sounds.
