A Very Large Array of Radio Telescopes
The Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico is a premier radio observatory. It consists of 27 dish antennas, each 25 meters across, spread across a desert plain. These dishes work together to create a single, powerful radio telescope, allowing astronomers to image distant galaxies, black holes, and star-forming regions with incredible detail. It has been instrumental in many astronomical discoveries.
