This is a large radio telescope, painted entirely white; the upper half is its large dish antenna, pointed directly upwards; the lower half is the support tower, positioning structure, and access stairs. The telescope here sits in the New Mexican desert, flat and dry with a low horizon. The sky is blue with a few small clouds near the horizon. On the path at lower left, leading to the telescope, two people stand and observe.
This very large #Round thing is one of the 28, 25-meter (diameter) radio telescopes that make up the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array ("VLA"), about 50 miles west of Socorro, New Mexico [USA]. Two people in the foreground give an idea of scale.

Here are a few of mine from near totality. Clipped the little bugger in the last pic at 4:19am pacific time; Iβm still trying to determine the name.

Well the clouds did eventually clear again, but as I didn't set up the Eq mount, this is the best I could manage, with the limb cut off due to it drifting across the eyepiece field. #lunareclipse π #astrophotograohy

If, like me, the #TrollClouds have ruined your #LunarEclipse experience, which has now commenced - tune into Griffith Observatory's live feed.
The music is great!
