- NRAO Very Large Array
The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (81 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

- Radio Telescopes
Most of what we know about the Universe comes from information that has been carried to us by light. But we have seen that visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In recent years the remainder of the electromagnetic spectrum has revealed extensive information about our Universe.

- Radio Telescopes
Most radio telescopes work in the same way as an optical reflecting telescope except that the mirror is made of metal, which reflects the radio waves up to a detector at the prime focus.

- The Very Large Array of Radio Telescopes
Drive about an hour west of Socorro, New Mexico, and you'll come across a scene that looks like it belongs in a science fiction movie. Large, white antennas are scattered across the landscape, pointed towards the sky.
