About This File

"The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter. For more information, see our overview of the VLA."** This is a 34 x 32 lot, my largest lot so far.

** From http://www.vla.nrao.edu/ the National Radio Astronomy Observatory where you can find more information on the VLA.

Cool. Could you not somehow put the RR tracks in that they run along, or are they not a 'prop'? It could add to the IQ level too.

I really like this lot but it needs some better stats and a bit more substance to it... THEN I will rate and download.

For some odd reason whenever i try to do very large or very complex lots, the Lot Editor won't save correctly. Sorry.

The VLA! Friggin cool! But wish you didn't copy-paste, and made your own satellite dishes. Lose a few points for that. I give it a 3. :)

Looks kind of repetitive, but if it's real, I'll take your word.

It is real, we saw it just recently and its worth the drive out there to see it.
