Pictures of the Very Large Array


VLA
My snapshot of the Very Large Array. This isn't the whole thing, by any means. The VLA has 27 antennas, plus 1 so that one antenna is always "in the shop" or rather in the "Barn", which is a big ol' antenna-sized building. In the VLA's largest configuration, each of the its three arms are 10 kilometers long.

A lovely shot I snagged out the window of a MOVING U.S. GOVERNMENT VAN on the way back to Socorro, NM.


Another 
VLA picture

Leslie claims that this is the best snapshot she has ever taken.


Phil Greenspun has some great pictures of New Mexico including an awsome VLA antenna.
