"The first thing we thought was to try to get rid of the structure, to fudge the data. But it wouldn't go away...
...across 21 miles of the desert of New Mexico. The VLA is one of a kind: the separate signals received by the 27 instruments can be melded into a single seamless picture, providing scientists with huge, highly detailed portraits of the heavens. Pointing the VLA toward the galactic center, Yusef-Zadeh and his Columbia colleague, Don Chance, along with Astronomer Mark Morris of UCLA, mapped out 200 light-years of the galaxy...
