| Facts: The telescopes in the array can be combined using interferometry techniques to give the resolution of a 22 mile diameter antenna. The VLA is the world's largest radio telescope array, consisting of 27 radio antennas each 25 meters in diameter and weighing some two hundred and thirty-five tonnes. They are set out in a Y shaped railway network allowing the antennas to be moved. A fish-eye lens is a lens that takes a very wide, hemispherical image. This is sometimes called "hemispherical photography".
