Ramos @ the VLA (Very Large Arrray) (Read 959 times)

went to the Very Large Array 50 miles (80 km) west of Socorro, NM. If you saw the movie "Contact" (Jodie Foster) thats the same VLA. big stuff. I saw one of them move twice, man thats a lotta weight to move.

quick facts: these 27 Satellites (82' diameter) work more efficently than one big one (like in Puerto Rico). and the Radio recievers behind the dish are chilled to 18° Kelvin. if they were to make one satellite with the power of this, it would have to be 17 miles in diameter.

I thought that was just the localizer for the Jupiter7 approach to planet Earth for the "Greys". Wink

The photos are located on another site ........ just the same as Anet photos are .... and we move them from the photo forum too. There is also the issue of them not being your photos ..... as stated in the forum notes.
