Radio telescope
Cosmic microwave telescope. Daytime view of the dish antenna of a radio telescope at Owens Valley in California, USA. This cosmic microwave telescope has a dish with a diameter of 40 metres (130 feet). Microwaves are radio waves with wavelengths between about 1 millimetre and 1 metre. The cosmic microwave telescope is one of a number of types of radio telescope at Owens Valley station. Owens Valley also has a 25 metre diameter radio telescope which forms part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network. This network consists of ten VLBA stations ranging from the Virgin Islands to Hawaii which together act like a giant telescope

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive dish antenna of a radio telescope at Owens Valley in California, USA. With a remarkable diameter of 40 meters (130 feet), this cosmic microwave telescope stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of unraveling the mysteries of the universe. Radio telescopes like this one play a crucial role in astrophysics and astronomy by detecting microwaves, which are essentially radio waves with wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter. These microwaves carry valuable information about celestial objects and phenomena that cannot be observed through traditional optical telescopes. Located at Owens Valley station, this cosmic microwave telescope is just one among several types of radio telescopes present there. The site also boasts an impressive 25-meter diameter radio telescope that forms part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network. This network comprises ten VLBA stations spread across locations such as the Virgin Islands and Hawaii, working together harmoniously to create what can only be described as a colossal virtual observatory. Through these cutting-edge technologies, scientists can delve deeper into space exploration, studying distant galaxies, black holes, pulsars, and other enigmatic cosmic entities. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a reminder of humanity's ceaseless curiosity and determination to unlock the secrets hidden within our vast universe.
