Visitors BANNED From VLA Radio Astronomy Observatory

As I was traveling US HWY 60 from Quartzite, AZ to Amarillo, TX, I came to a site that has been on my bucket list to visit for years. #americanheartlands #astronomy #space

The facility was closed to visitors on a weekday! There was no cell service available and I had not gotten Starlink RV service yet so I was unable to look up any information about the facility or discover why it has been closed to visitors. That is why there is no dialog in this film explaining the facility or why visitors are not allowed anymore.

The dishes do move, but very slowly. I was lucky to catch one as it was repositioned but I had to speed the process up by 500% so it could be seen. Wait for it!

Before you travel to this remote place for a visit, be sure to check the official website for current information. https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/vla/
