Telescopes and Volcanic Tuff

            A big dish from the Owens Valley Radio Observatory peers into the cosmos among many other dishes many of which are stored from the former CARMA array that once was higher up in the Inyo Mountains. In the distance the huge mound that is made up of the Bishop Tuff rises up marking the southern rim of the Long Valley Caldera, a super volcano that created that welded mound an estimated 764,800 years ago in an enormous eruption the scale of which is hard to comprehend. Whenever I pass by the “Big Ears” I always wonder what they are hearing from the universe as they listen without need for darkness. Here a coming storm was causing the light and shadows from the direction of the Sierra Nevada to dance across the valley floor.
