This is the larger of the telescopes at this large complex at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. It is 100 meters across, and has made many observations and discoveries about our universe, including about black holes and pulsars. This vantage is one and a half miles away. It is the closet that our digital cameras are allowed. Any closer and our camera electronics interfere with the the astronomical measurements. This radio telescope was once used in the SETI program. Imagine clicking away with your camera any closer than this spot and being mistaken for an alien intelligent life signal from outer space.
