The Story of the Very Large Array

-- | April 7, 2014

Question: Toured the VLA facility in New Mexico on April 5 and was very impressed with the new public relations film narrated by Jodie Foster and, I think, named, “Beyond the Visible; The Story of the VLA”. Is there a way to make this film available to High School science and engineering students?
Thanks for a great tour and for all the work you guys do to advance science! — Pat

Answer: Yes. You can watch the complete movie (closed captioned in English and Spanish) at “The Story of the VLA”.
