Very Long Baseline Array Radio Telescope, Hawaii
Hawaii VLBA radio telescope. View of the dish antenna of a radio telescope which forms part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network. This international network consists of ten telescopes located from Hawaii to the Virgin Islands. The VLBA network simulates a giant antenna by using interferometry techniques to combine the data obtained by the individual telescopes. Each antenna weighs 240 tonnes, is nearly as tall as a ten-storey building, and has a dish with a 25 metre diameter. The telescope obtains measurements of centimetre long radio wavelengths. This dish antenna is located on the dormant volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) Radio Telescope in Hawaii. The image captures the dish antenna of this remarkable telescope, which is part of an international network spanning from Hawaii to the Virgin Islands. Through sophisticated interferometry techniques, these ten telescopes work together to simulate a colossal antenna, combining their data for groundbreaking astronomical research. Each antenna within the VLBA network weighs a staggering 240 tonnes and stands as tall as a ten-storey building. The dish itself boasts an impressive diameter of 25 meters, enabling it to capture measurements of centimetre-long radio wavelengths. Positioned atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii's breathtaking landscape, this particular dish antenna offers scientists unparalleled views into our vast universe. The VLBA Radio Telescope represents humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about the cosmos. With its cutting-edge technology and strategic placement on Mauna Kea, it serves as an invaluable tool for astronomers and astrophysicists alike. This awe-inspiring photograph encapsulates both the grandeur of scientific exploration and our unyielding curiosity about what lies beyond Earth's boundaries. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning print invites viewers to marvel at the extraordinary capabilities of modern astronomy while appreciating the natural beauty that surrounds one of mankind's most significant observatories.
