Built in the 1970s, the VLA comprises twenty-eight 25-meter radio telescopes (twenty-seven of which are operational while one is always rotating through maintenance) deployed in a Y-shaped array and all the equipment, instrumentation, and computing power to function as an interferometer. #NewMexico

New Mexico's Silver City was founded in the 1870s with the discovery of silver in the area. Though silver was the foundation of the community's early economy, the presence of brick clay allowed for more permanent construction than typical remote mining camps. #NewMexico #history

It is telling that we don't use the words "journalism" and "news" anymore. It is just "media", a daily deluge of images, videos, and opinions, designed to evoke emotional responses, delivered in an environment where data and facts are buried in a media mudslide.

City of Rocks State Park is a geologic treasure; with towering, sculptured rock pinnacles and boulders rising as high as 40 ft separated by paths or lanes resembling city streets. The boulders were deposited by a volcanic eruption about 34.9 million years ago. #NewMexico #geology #hiking #daytrip

Bluff Springs Recreation Area, Sacramento Mountains (between Cloudcroft and Sunspot). More than eighty springs dot this area, but Bluff Springs is the crown jewel.

In June 1598, Juan de Oñate led a group of Spanish settlers through the Jornada del Muerto, an inhospitable patch of desert that ends just south of the present-day city of Socorro. Piro Indians from Teypana pueblo encountered the Spaniards, giving them food and water. #NewMexico #travel #history

New Mexico so green this year beautiful

I wish the President and media would wait until the police, hospital or family release a statement. The media is breathlessly reporting based on what Trump says. Trump FBI dude is already identified someone supposedly, but no official channels have verified anything yet.

@newmexiconomad.com not sure of this is on anybody’s radar in New Mexico, but we need to speak out against this www.koat.com/article/pnm-...

Roaming Gallup. Located along historic Route 66 between Flagstaff & Albuquerque, Gallup is renowned for its high-quality Native American art and jewelry, including turquoise and silver items, pottery, rugs, and Kachina dolls. #NewMexico #travel #roadtrip #daytrip #VisitGallup #Route66

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad was constructed in 1880 as part of the Rio Grande’s narrow gauge San Juan Extension. It served the silver mining district of the San Juan mountains in SW Colorado. Season ends Oct 25th. The aspen gold kicks in later in Sept (usually). #travel #NewMexico #train

The Lodge at Cloudcroft is a historic resort resting at 9,000 ft. Constructed in 1899 by the Alamogordo and Sacramento Mountain Railway, the resort became a successful mountain retreat. Of course, it has a resident ghost, Rebecca Porter. #NewMexico #weekendgetaway #Cloudcroft

On the Mescalero reservation New Mexico

Fray Francisco Atanasio Domínguez, canonical inspector of the missions of New Mexico in 1776, compared most everything in New Mexico to Mexico City, “the delightful and alluring cradle of my birth, for which no praise is ever adequate.”

With everything going on in the world, going someplace beautiful (with no cell phone reception) seems like a good way to recharge the internal batteries. #NewMexico #travel #roadtrip #offthebeatenpath

We got just enough rain to make it humid. #NewMexico #heat #summervibes

Thanks for including me! On another matter, what do we think about this upcoming selloff of BLM and NFS land (map appended)? The problem is that NM only has blue representatives in Congress. We have no one to persuade. The fate of NM public land will be decided by the GOP outside of NM.

If you are in or around #Albuquerque and are a chef/baker/cocktail maker who likes to use local ingredients...I gotchu! Rose petals, Borage flowers, and Buzz Buttons (Spilanthes) are all in stock on the farm rn! #abq 🌱

#NoKings #Albuquerque Hot day, but good turnout.

Where is the June 14 protest in Albuquerque? I saw one post that said Mariposa Park, but want to double check. My mom is gathering others to join us. 🤣

Took a quick trip to Chaco Canyon on my way to Gallup last week. The roads weren't as bad as they have been in the past. I entered from the east (Nageezi) and headed to Gallup via the dirt road to Seven Lakes. No other vehicles on that route. #NewMexico #history #roadtrip #travel #daytrip

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad traverses 64-miles between Chama, NM, and Antonito, CO.
