...ragtag crew of ranchers show up to forecast in plain terms how the monument will destroy their way of life. "This is devastating," says cattleman Mike Dauenhauer, who owns a 12,000-acre spread but wants his cows to continue their subsidized grazing on public lands.

Because this cosmic glow had no place to go, it must still be there, albeit so attenuated that it took the form of feeble microwaves.
