The Very Large Array of Radio Telescopes
The Very Large Array of radio telescopes in New Mexico has been observing the sky since 1980. Its 27 dishes, each the size of a house, move on train tracks to form different configurations. This instrument has helped us find water on Mercury and study black holes in our own galaxy.
