| The Very Large Array located on U.S. 60 on the Plains of San Agustin about fifty-miles west of Socorro. |  |
| There are 27 dishes, each with a diameter of 82-feet; they roll on tracks that array in a Y-formation that stretches 13-miles across. In this photo, the dishes are all bunched up together. |  |
The VLA is at an elevation of 6,970 feet. Movie watchers may have noted that parts of the 2009 Terminator: Salvation were filmed at the Very Large Array. |  |
Here I am braving the freezing cold on a February afternoon in 2007; the marker is located not far from the entrance of the VLA. |  |
The same historical marker--looking a bit newer--in January, 2004. |  |
One of the independent antennas which weighs 230 tons. |  |
Chauntel and Toby freezing at the VLA. |  |
Everybody is "toughing out" the cold; the wind chill was excruciating. Here, Robyn, Toby (the dog) and Chauntel with the control center in the background. |  |
In this picture from January, 2004, the dishes were far a part--the array crossed U.S. 60 and spread for miles. |  |
An antenna eclipses the sun. |  |
