View of several of the dish antennae which make up the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope near Socorro,New Mexico. The VLA is the world's largest single-location radio telescope array,consisting of 27 dishes (plus one spare),each 25 metres in diameter. The dishes can be moved to various positions along the arms of a Y-shaped railway network. Two of the arms are 21 km in length,the third is 19 km. The data from all the dishes are combined to produce a single radio image,simulating the effect of using a single 27 km diameter radio dish | |
