Radio astronomy

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.
