Scientific paper

Following the 1933 report by Karl Janksy of the detection of cosmic radio emission, Grote Reber, working by himself, designed and built the world's first radio telescope and established radio astronomy as a key component of the astronomical enterprise. Over the next half-century, Reber extended his radio astronomy studies to the very long hectometer wavelengths, while also pursuing research in a variety of other fields, including cosmic-ray physics, the atmosphere and ionosphere, biology, genetics, archeology, and electronics. For his pioneering explorations in radio astronomy, including the first maps of radio emission from the Milky Way and the detection of solar radio emission, Reber received the 1962 Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, the Franklin Institute Elliot Cresson Medal, the American Astronomical Society Russell Prize, the Associated Universities, Inc., Jansky Lectureship, and the Jackson-Gwilt Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society.
