Caltech millimetre telescopes, Owens Valley, USA
Caltech millimetre radio telescopes. View at night of the dish antennae of radio telescopes at Owens Valley in California, USA. Star trails are seen in the sky. This set of telescopes is known as the Caltech millimetre array. They detect objects in the universe that emit radio waves of millimetre wavelengths. As an array, they can act together focusing on a single object in the sky. Owens Valley station has a number of types of radio telescopes, including a 25 metre diameter radio telescope which forms part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Caltech millimetre telescopes at Owens Valley in California, USA. Illuminated against the night sky, the dish antennae of these radio telescopes stand tall, while mesmerizing star trails paint a celestial backdrop. Known as the Caltech millimetre array, this set of telescopes specializes in detecting objects in the universe that emit radio waves with millimetre wavelengths. What makes these telescopes truly remarkable is their ability to work together as an array, focusing on a single object in the vast expanse of space. This collaborative effort enhances their observational capabilities and allows for more precise and detailed studies of cosmic phenomena. Owens Valley station boasts various types of radio telescopes, including a notable 25-meter diameter one that forms part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network. These cutting-edge instruments are at the forefront of astrophysics research and contribute significantly to our understanding of distant galaxies, black holes, pulsars, and other enigmatic cosmic entities. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this awe-inspiring scene from Owens Valley Observatory—an image that encapsulates humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within our vast universe through advanced astronomical technology.
