Here’s a documentary video (embedding not allowed) about the\u00a0Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array<\/a> (VLA) operated by the\u00a0National Radio Astronomy Observatory<\/a> (NRAO). The video is narrated by Jodie Foster, who was seen at the VLA in the movie Contact<\/em>:\u00a0Beyond The Visible: The Story of the Very Large Array – Vimeo<\/a><\/p>\n

Created in 2013 as the new interpretive film for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) public Visitor Center, this 24-minute production explores the synergies of technology and human curiosity that power the world’s most productive radio telescope. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster (star of the film “Contact,” which was based on the novel by Carl Sagan and filmed at the VLA), the program depicts many of the people whose diverse efforts enable the VLA to be a cutting-edge resource for astronomers and humanity worldwide.<\/p>\n
