The Goldstone antenna
The image shows a very tall, wide, dish-shaped device that is about three times as wide and as tall as the two-story dome that supports it. Four metal ladderlike extensions form a pyramidal structure topped by a box-like frame used for transmission and reception. The entire array is pointed skyward. In the background is a partly cloudy, blue sky above sagebrush-covered desert hills.
