Cosmic microwave telescope, Owens Valley, Calif
Cosmic microwave telescope. Time-lapse view at early morning of the moving dish antenna of a radio telescope at Owens Valley in California, USA. Star trails are seen in the sky. This cosmic microwave telescope has a dish with a diameter of 40 metres (130 feet). Microwaves are radio waves with wavelengths between about 1 millimetre and 1 metre. The cosmic microwave telescope is one of a number of types of radio telescope at Owens Valley station. Owens Valley also has a 25 metre diameter radio telescope which forms part of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network. This network consists of ten VLBA stations which together act like a giant telescope

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cosmic microwave telescope at Owens Valley, California. In this time-lapse view captured during the early morning hours, we witness the mesmerizing movement of the dish antenna of this remarkable radio telescope. As star trails paint a celestial canvas in the sky above, our gaze is drawn to the impressive 40-meter (130 feet) diameter dish that forms the heart of this scientific marvel. The cosmic microwave telescope specializes in detecting microwaves, which are essentially radio waves with wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter. It stands as one among several types of radio telescopes stationed at Owens Valley, each contributing its unique capabilities to unraveling mysteries of our universe. Notably, Owens Valley also hosts a 25-meter diameter radio telescope that plays an integral role within the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) network. This network comprises ten VLBA stations strategically positioned across vast distances, effectively transforming them into components of an enormous interconnected observatory. Through their collaborative efforts and cutting-edge technology like this cosmic microwave telescope, scientists delve deeper into astrophysics and expand our understanding of space's enigmatic phenomena. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond Earth's boundaries.
