EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in New Mexico at sunset. The image, taken on March 17,2013, showcases the VLA against a backdrop of a vibrant sky painted with warm hues. As the sun dips below the horizon, Earth's shadow begins to rise on the right side of the frame, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The photograph also reveals a stunning phenomenon known as the Belt of Venus along the eastern horizon. This pinkish band adds a touch of enchantment to an already mesmerizing scene. With no people in sight, this horizontal composition emphasizes both the vastness and solitude of space. Situated in an arid climate and surrounded by barren fields, this scientific marvel stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. Its parabolic antennas are arranged meticulously in rows, resembling giant satellite dishes that communicate with celestial bodies. Operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, this observatory plays a crucial role in astronomy and communication research. It serves as a hub for studying distant galaxies and phenomena beyond our planet's boundaries. Alan Dyer's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates not only the grandeur of this desert landscape but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge through science and exploration.
