CARMAgeddon

a good kind of terrible
I thought you guys might be interested in the arrays, as well as in the long exposure photo of the cloudy night sky.

The amazing science fiction structures in the foreground are the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA), a multi-university-based interferometer, using 23 radio telescopes used jointly to image the astronomical universe at millimeter wavelengths, producing high-resolution astronomical images. CARMA is located in the Inyo Mountains in California, USA. I was there for about one hour photographing the dish arrays, and was photographed with a Nikon D610 DSLR. Special thanks for Dennis Ducilla for telling me about CARMA.

It's amazing how we're exploring space these days, and we're even going to get a peek at Pluto soon.

Nice shot!
 
I am really looking forward to the shots of Pluto we're gonna get for something like the next year....beautiful high-res photos of a dwarf planet that otherwise has only been represented photographically by a few blurry pixels.

Thanks!
