Owens Valley Radio Observatory
The Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) began operations in 1958 with the commissioning of two 90-foot radio telescopes built by Caltech. Ten years later, an even bigger antenna, a 130-foot (40 meter) dish was finished. It was originally built to study radio galaxies, but is now used to look at the sun's magnetic field. The last major instrument at the observatory is the millimeter-wave array. It consists of six 34-foot (10.4-meter) dishes (also called Leighton's dishes).
