"The Very Large Array"

   On the Plains of San Agustin in New Mexico stands one of America’s most remarkable astronomical achievements: the Very Large Array radio telescope.

   On a moonless night, the sky above the telescope opens into a universe waiting to be explored—a vast dome of stars stretching from the zenith to the horizon.

   Whether you are a scientist, photographer, or traveler, take a moment to pause and be inspired by the universe overhead.

   Here are a few images from my three days on the Plains of San Agustin.
