He mālamalamaʻo New Mexico, a heʻeleʻele pouli ka mea e lilo ai i wahi maikaʻi no ka nānāʻana i nā hōkū. Aia nā mākaʻikaʻi o ka moku'āina i nāʻikeʻikeʻike me nā telescopes a me nā mea nānā i ke kelepila e nānā i nā hanana ma kahi nalu maʻamau.
Inā makemakeʻoe eʻike i nā mea i ka pō o ka pō, ponoʻoleʻoe e nānā i kahi'ē aʻe ma mua o ka mākaʻi ma ke kahua kula o ke Kulanui o New Mexico . Hoʻoponoʻia e ka Department of Physics and Astronomy, hoʻomanaʻo ka mea hoʻomalu i kahi kelepona nānā nui no ka nānāʻana, aia ma ka puʻuwai o ke kūlanakauhale.
Aia ka UNM Observatory he 14 "Meade kekuika a me kēlā pō Pōʻalima a pau i ka huina a me nā kauwela o ke kauwela i ka wā eʻikeʻia ana ka lewa, keʻikeʻia ka mea eʻikeʻia ai e nā mea hoʻolālāʻeleʻele mai ka Albuquerque Astronomical Society. e kōkua e wehewehe i nā mea i ka lewa a pane i nā nīnau.ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi he hana pilinaʻohana e ukuʻoleʻia. Eʻike ma ka Yale Blvd.ʻelua'āpana ma ka'ākau o Lomas.
ʻO ka hapa nui loa
Ma kaʻaoʻao hema o Albuquerque i Socorro, ka'Āpana Nui (VLA) e hoʻolako i nā malihini i kahi manawa eʻike ai i ka hanaʻana o nā lelescopes. Ma muli o ka nui o nā nalu wela, ua hoʻonuiʻia nā pae nui i nā kula o San Agustin e hopu iā lākou. Aia nā ipu ma nā kaʻa uila a hiki ke hoʻoneʻeʻia i nā hoʻonohonoho likeʻole, i kapaʻia nā kiʻi, eʻae ai i nā hana a ka lani. ʻO nā telescopes he 27 x 25m nā lepehemo kahi o ka National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
Hoʻokomoʻia nā antenia 27 me ka mechanical e hāʻawi i ka hoʻonāʻana o kahi antenia he 36km (22 mau mile) ma'ō. ʻO ka hoʻonohonoho hoʻonohonoho o VLA hiki iāʻoe keʻike i ka wā e hoʻoneʻe ai nā antenn, a i loko o kahi kikowaena. Hanaʻia nā huakaʻi i nā Pōʻakahi mua o ka malama, mai ka hola 11 a hiki i ka 3. pm Ma hope o ke kūʻana i loko o kekahi o nā mana antenna, hiki iaʻu ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka nui o nā mea e hanaʻia ma VLA.
E kipa inā hiki iāʻoe. ʻO ka VLA kahi i 50 mau mile ma ke komohana o Socorro.
ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke kele nalu lōʻihi (LWA) kekahi ma kaʻaoʻao Socorro. ʻO ka LWA kekahi kelepona radio frequency-frequency e hāʻawi ana i nā kiʻi hoʻolālā kiʻekiʻe ma kahi lekiō iʻikeʻia kahi'āpana'āina iʻikeʻia o ka pīkoi electromagnetic. Kūkuluʻia ma kahi kokoke i ka VLA, he mau pūnaewele he nui ma New Mexico a hiki paha ma kahi aku.
Ma kaʻaoʻao hema aku i nā maunaʻo Sacramento, eʻikeʻoe i kahi o nā mea nānā. ʻO ka meaʻoi loa iʻikeʻia ka National Solar Observatory, (NSO) i loaʻa ma Sunspot, ma ke poʻo o ke kuahiwi e kū kokoke ana i Alamagordo, New Mexico. Hoʻomaopopo ka 60-inch Dunn Solar Telescope (DST) i kaʻike kiʻekiʻe o ke anuanu i loaʻa ma luna o ka mauna, e hiki ai ke nānā pono nui. He kūlana maikaʻi loa ka DST a ua hōʻike mai i nā manaʻo he nui o nā hiʻohiʻona o ka Lā. Kūmama ke NSO i ka lā no nā malihini. Aia nā mākaʻikaʻi e hiki ai i nā malihini ke hele ma laila. Loaʻa kahi mākaʻikaʻi maʻamau. ʻOiai ma ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa, e hoʻolālā i ka manawa eʻike i ka Pūnaewele Visitor, a aʻo e pili ana i ka hoʻolālāʻana o nā astronomers i ke ao holoʻokoʻa me nā hōʻike kiko'ī. He mea hauʻoli ia eʻike i ka Papa Armillary a me Sundial, e hōʻike ana i ka pilina o ka Honua a me ka lewa.
Hiki iāʻoe ke kipa aku i nā kelepona a me nā mea ma Apache Point Observatory a me nā telescopes a me nā hōʻike ma NSO. Aiaʻo Apache Point ma kahi kokoke i ka NSO. ʻO Apache Point kahi pūnaewele 3.5-mika, ke keleponaʻo New Mexico State 1.0 meter, a me ke kelepona Sloan Foundation 2.5 mika, e hoʻohanaʻia ana no ka Survey Scan Sloan Digital, e kahakaha ana i ke ao holoʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻokumu ke Sloan i nā palapala'ahina kūlikeʻekolu o ka hapakolu o ka lewa. Eia nō hoʻiʻo Apache Point kahi pūnaeweleʻo 3.5-mikaʻo Astrophysical Research Consortium.
He wahi nuiʻo Mexico New Mexico no nā telescopes o nāʻano likeʻole a he mau mea nānā i ke kula nui.
