If the device suddenly began radiating heat, the telescope almost certainly would be pinpointing a heat-absorbing Faustian galaxy, otherwise invisible because it would also be absorbing rather than emitting light...

He was also on hand for the Beatles at Shea Stadium, stopped off to buy a new Honda Hawkeye for faster mobility through traffic, and was ad-libbing at an outdoor park fashion show, backed by the blasting rock 'n' roll of a Yale combo known as the Five-Card Stud, when he got a call from the mayor.
