Karl Jansky Very Large Array

Thirty miles outside of Magdelena, New Mexico, is the Karl Jansky Very Large Array, operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. The plains of Augustin were chosen because of the isolation from interfering radio signals. There are 27 ea 82 feet movable parabolic antennas arranged in a "Y" shape, configurable for bandwidth.

Since I learned of its construction, this was one of my bucket list locations. Real science is done here. If you saw Contact or 2010, you've seen the antennas.

The site is gorgeous in color but made for infrared imaging.

Interesting. And it would not look out of place in an alien movie.
