Up close on one antenna of the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VKA) on the Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico, along US 60. Yeah, this was the place in Contact with Jodie Foster.
That sonofabitchin dish is 82 ft across (24 m)! Real fuckin' tall, too!
They got 27 antennas out there, spread out for miles. Together they act as one telescope. They look at long wavelength shit, like gamma and radio waves.
