McMath Hulbert Team:

Check out these digital photographs from our members Bill and Julie Blevins. AWESOME, technically superb, and noteworthy enough to appear in National Geographic magazine.

Best,

Hi,
We were on vacation two weeks ago and down to see family this past weekend.
We should make it up there this Saturday night if clear and Sunday afternoon.
Thought I would pass along some photos we took out in New Mexico.
We made it out to the VLA National Radio Telescope. Kind of a 'Mecca' for us Astronomy-types I would say. It's one of my "10 wonders of the world", though I'm easily impressed. :)
