Very Large Array (VLA)

The Very Large Array (VLA) is a radio astronomy observatory located in New Mexico, USA. It consists of 27 large dish antennas arranged in a Y-shape, which can work together to study celestial objects like stars, galaxies, and black holes. By combining signals from the antennas, scientists can create detailed images and gather information about astronomical phenomena. The VLA is especially powerful for observing radio waves, allowing astronomers to explore the universe in ways that optical telescopes cannot. Its versatility and sensitivity make it one of the world's premier radio observatories.
