About an hour or so west of Socorro, NM is the Very Large Array (VLA) as seen in the movie, Contact*  Well worth a visit if you ever find yourself out that way...

Are We Alone?


Operators Are Standing By...


(* Contact portrayed Jodie Foster's character using the VLA as a "listening" post when in fact, it uses the electromagnetic engergy it collects to create images of space...  It's a giant "Camera!")
