'Orion Can You Hear Me?'

The constellation Orion (left center) appears to be receiving signals as it is framed by two transmitter towers on Boyson Road NE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, between C Avenue and Council Street on September 22, 1999. This short time exposure, looking south, was taken at 5:15 am from the entrance of Friendship Baptist Church. The tower on the left, and the FOX Network television transmitter building below it, were both removed about eight years later. The 703-foot tower on the right is currently operated by Century Communications LLC. The bright star at lower left is Sirius, "the dog star."
