Radio astronomy
Karl Jansky discovered radio waves coming from outer space in 1932. This discovery led to the field of radio astronomy and revolutionized our understanding of the universe by allowing scientists to study celestial objects using radio telescopes.
He might have been Arno Penzias' gardener or insurance agent.
This is right in there with cars and airplanes. ;-) Although Karl Jansky's "merry-go-round" is usually given the credit, earlier geniuses like Nikola Tesla would listen to radio noises and correlate them with the Milky Way. He even claimed to have heard signal from Martians. But, it was Bell Lab's Jansky who was asked to build one, and used a feed horn and a steerable antenna. So, the answer is Karl Jansky, in 1931 that usually gets the credit.
VLA in astronomy is the Very Large Array (better known as the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. It is a radio astronomy observatory located on the Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico, USA.See related link for more information.
