It is also the setting for a tangled web of politics, personal ambition, love, jealousy, and murder. Telescopes on Earth have detected an Earth-sized planet circling a star some thirty light-years away. Farside observatory will have the largest optical telescope in the solar system as well as a vast array of radio antennas, the most sensitive radio telescope possible, insulated from the interference of Earth's radio chatter by a thousand kilometers of the moon's solid body. Building Farside is a complex, often dangerous task. Breakdowns--mechanical and emotional--are commonplace. Accidents happen, some of them fatal. But what they ultimately find will stun everyone, and the human race will never be the same. 650 0 $a Astronomical observatories $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lunar bases $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 0 $a Audio books. 700 1 $a Rudnicki, Stefan, $d 1945- $4 nrt 710 2 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204070046.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110052007.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1340FF80AF111E39305B8A1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
