Águila
"We learned so much about singing from each other because you get to sort of be them for a second when you're shadowing them in harmony. It's like getting on an eagle and getting to see the world through that eagle's experience."

Exploring Inner Space* at The New York Times
From Corrections: Jan. 1, 2020 —
The astronomy article, by Dennis Overbye, is dated Dec. 23* (a Monday).
The above reference to "Tuesday" is explained by the fine print
at the bottom of the Science Times article — "A version of this article
appears in print on [Tuesday] , Section D, Page 6 of the
New York edition with the headline: In Battle of Giant Telescopes,
Outlook for the U.S. Dims."
From the article as quoted on Thursday, Dec. 26,

"Now, as the wheels of the academic and government bureaucracy begin to turn, many American astronomers worry that they are following in the footsteps of their physicist colleagues. In 1993, Congress canceled the Superconducting Super Collider, and the United States ceded the exploration of inner space to Europe and CERN, which built the Large Hadron Collider, 27 miles in diameter, where the long-sought Higgs boson was eventually discovered. The United States no longer builds particle accelerators. There could come a day, soon, when Americans no longer build giant telescopes. That would be a crushing disappointment to a handful of curious humans stuck on Earth, thirsting for cosmic grandeur. In outer space, nobody can hear you cry."
