Impela nje ihora elingaphansi kweleNingizimu eningizimu ye-Albuquerque, i-Socorro, eNew Mexico iyindawo yokuya kuyo futhi iyodwa, kodwa futhi iyindawo enhle yokuvakashela endleleni eya ezikhangayo eziseduze. I-Socorro ingamakhilomitha angaba ngu-75 eningizimu ye-Albuquerque futhi ikwazi ukufinyeleleka kalula nge-I-25. I-Socorro inomuzi omncane uzizwa, kodwa inezindawo zokudla, izinkampani zokudumisa, nokuzijabulisa njengoba ungalindela ukuthola edolobheni lasekolishi.
Umlando
I-Socorro yaziwa njengendawo yokuma lapho imindeni isuka enyakatho esuka eMexico noDon Juan de Onate ngo-1598.
Uhambo luka-Onate lwaluhlangene nabakhileyo basePilo-speaking abakhuluma ngeTiropana Pueblo, abaxoxisana nabo, futhi wabanika ummbila. Abantu baseTeypana banikeza i-Onate corn, ngakho wabiza kabusha i-pueblo Socorro, okuyinto iSpanishi yokusiza, noma ukunikeza usizo. I-pueblo ayisekho, kodwa iziqongo eziseduzane zeGran Quivira Pueblo ziyisigamiso se-pueblos esake isendaweni. UGran Quivira ungenye ye-pueblos emithathu etholakala eSikhumbuzweni Sezwe SaseSalinas Mission esiseduzane. Izinsalela zevangeli le-17 leminyaka yamaFranciscan kanye nama-pueblos ka-Abo, Quarai noGran Quivira.
Umlando ugcwele endaweni. I-San Miguel Mission itholakala eSocorro, isikhumbuzo sendawo esedlule. Imindeni yaseSpain yayihlala futhi isebenza kulo mkhankaso, kanye nama-puebloans asendabuko. I-Fort Craig eseduze yasungulwa ngo-1854 njengesivikelo ngokumelene ne-Apache ne-Navajo. Amanxiwa alo aqhele ngamamitha angaba ngu-35 eningizimu yeSocorro.
Izikhangibavakashi
Umlando we-Socorro ujulile, kodwa unikeza nokukhangisa okuseduze okuletha isayensi nabathandi bemvelo kusuka emhlabeni wonke.
I-Socorro i-New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, noma njengoba ibizwa ngokujwayelekile, i-New Mexico Tech. I-Tech iyunivesithi yaseNew Mexico yobunjiniyela, onguchwepheshe wesayensi nobunjiniyela.
Abafundi abaningi baseNew Mexico abasezingeni eliphezulu baphendukela ku-Tech, okubalwa esikoleni esiphakeme esivela entshonalanga. I-Tech iphinde ibekwe ngokulinganayo njengenye yezinhlelo eziyishumi eziyinhloko zobunjiniyela emhlabeni jikelele. Kubuye kube nenani elikhulu, elidonsela abafundi kwezinye izifundazwe eziningi. Indawo efanelekile yokuvakashela kuyiSocorro yi-Etscorn Observatory yeNew Mexico Tech. I-observatory inombono we-Dobsonian wama-intshi angu-20, futhi njalo ngoMgqibelo wokuqala wenyanga, ihlala yenkanyezi yenkanyezi, lapho izivakashi zingabheka khona nge-telescope ezintweni zasezulwini. Njalo ngo-Okthoba, i-Enchanted Skies Star Party ihlanganisa izinkambo eziya e-Etscorn, ebizwa nangokuthi iMagdalena Ridge Observatory. I-New Mexico iyaziwa ngemibhakabhaka yayo ecacile, emnyama, evumela ababukeli ukubona iSaturn, inyanga, izinkanyezi nezinye izinto ngokucacile okukhulu.
I-Socorro iyinhloko ebalulekile kunoma ubani onentshisekelo ku-astronomy. I-Socorro iyiphuzu elihle lokuqalisa ukuvakashela i-Large Large Array, noma i-VLA, engamamitha angaba ngu-50 entshonalanga yedolobha. Umsakazo omkhulu omhlophe, onobuciko obuthengiswayo owenziwe odumile ekuthintaneni kwe-movie, owakhanyisa uJodie Foster, asetshenziselwa ukuhlola izulu ngokusebenzisa amagagasi omsakazo. I-VLA inesikhungo sokuvakasha, futhi izinkambo zokuhamba eziqondiswayo zingathathwa ngesikhathi sokuzilibazisa.
Kukhona izinkambo eziqondisiwe ngoLwesithathu nangoMgqibelo.
Esinye isikhangiso esiseduze esivulekile unyaka wonke kodwa sibangele abaningi ekwindla, yiBosque del Apache National Wildlife Resfuge. Izinyoni ezifudukayo zihamba zihamba enyakatho entwasahlobo, futhi eningizimu ekuwa, zidala ukubonisa okukhulu kwabathandi bezinyoni. Ngomhla kaNovemba, uMkhosi wama-Cranes udonsela izivakashi ukugcina ukuhamba kwaminyaka yonke yamagundane ase-sandhill. Abathwebuli bezilwane zasendle, abathandi bezinyoni, abathandi bemvelo kanye nalabo abanesifiso sokudla baya endaweni yokuphephela ukuze babone izinyoni njengoba behamba ngeRio Grande bese bedla emasimini nasebusini.
Esinye isiphephelo esiseduze, i-Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, cishe ngamahektare angaba ngu-230 000 futhi aqukethe izinhlobo eziningi ezihlukahlukene zezinto eziphilayo. I-Rio Grande igeleza esikhungweni sezokuphepha bese idala i-oasis yezilwane zasendle.
Isiphephelo sinikeza imigwaqo yokuhamba ngezinyawo, izindawo ezihlala emanzini, nezindawo zasemaphandleni kanye nokuqapha kwezilwane kanye nokulondeka kwezinyoni zasendle. Isiphephelo sihlanganyela ekubala kwe-Christmas Bird, okuwumsebenzi omnandi womndeni wonke.
Indawo yaseSan Lorenzo Canyon Recreation inikeza nokuhamba ngezinyawo. I-canyon ine-arches, ama-rock formations nezindawo zokukhosela ukuze zihlolwe futhi zihlale zihlala emapulazini nasemakhaya. Le ndawo ingamakhilomitha angaba ngu-5 enyakatho yeSocorro. Hlanganisa ama-canyons ukuze ujabulele indawo enhle eningizimu-ntshonalanga, noma uhlale nekamu elimnyama.
