I-New Mexico ine-skies ecacile, emnyama eyenza ibe yindawo enhle yokubheka izinkanyezi. Ama-observatory wombuso afaka ama-observatories angama-optical nge-telescopes kanye nemisakazo yomsakazo ebona izinto ezihlukahlukeneko.
Uma unesithakazelo ekuboneni izinto esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku, akudingeki ubheke okungaphezu kwe- observer ku-University of New Mexico campus . Ukugijima nguMnyango wezeMpilo ne-Astronomy, i-observatory inikeza i-telescope enkulu yokubuka, enhliziyweni yedolobha.
I-Observatory ye-UNM ine-telescope engu-14 "ye-Meade nangoLwesihlanu ebusuku ngesikhathi sokuwa kanye nesimiso sehlobo sehlobo lokusabalalisa lapho isimo sezulu sicacile, ukubuka kuyatholakala. Ama-telescopes avame ukusethwa ngaphandle kwendawo yokugcina izinkanyezi yizinkanyezi ze-amateur ezivela ku-Albuquerque Astronomical Society. ukusiza ukuchaza ukuthi usekuphi esibhakabhakeni bese uphendula imibuzo. I-Observatory ngumsebenzi owenzela umndeni ongekhokhwa. Thola it ku-Yale Blvd. amabhlokhi amabili enyakatho yeLomas.
I-Arrays eyaziwa kakhulu
Eya eningizimu ye-Albuquerque eSocorro, i- Very Large Array (VLA) inikeza izivakashi ithuba lokubona ukuthi ama-telescopes omsakazo asebenza kanjani. Ngenxa yokuthi amagagasi omsakazo ankulu kakhulu, i-plates of izitsha ezinkulu ihlelwe emathafeni aseSan Agustin ukuze abambe. Izitsha zihamba emathrekhi womzila wesitimela futhi zingasuswa zibe ukulungiswa okuhlukile, okuthiwa ama-arrays, avumele ukuhlola kwamazulu. Ama-telescopes angama-telescopes ayi-27 x 25m ayingxenye ye-National Radio Astronomy Observatories (NRAO).
Ama-antenna angama-27 ahlanganisa ama-electronic ukuze anikeze isinqumo se-antenna engama-36km (22 miles) ngaphesheya. Uhlelo lwesimiso se-VLA lukwazisa ukuthi ama-antenna azosuswa kanjani, nokuthi yikuphi ukucushwa. Ukuvakasha kwenzeke njalo ngoMgqibelo wokuqala wenyanga, kusuka ngo-11 ekuseni kuya ku-3: 00. Njengoba ngimi ngaphakathi kwesinye izitsha ze-antenna, ngiyakwazi ukufakazela ubukhulu bezinto ezenzeka ku-VLA.
Vakashela uma ungakwazi. I-VLA ingamamitha angaba ngu-50 entshonalanga yeSocorro.
I-Long Wavelength Array (LWA) iphinde ibe seSocorro. I-LWA iyi-telescope yomsakazo ophansi oveza imifanekiso ephezulu yokusombulula kumvamisa womsakazo okuye kwaba yisifunda esingahlosiwe se-spectrum magnetic spectrum. Kutholakala eduze ne-VLA, inezinhlobo zeziteshi eNew Mexico futhi cishe okungaphezulu.
Eningi eningizimu eSigramento Mountains uzothola izintambo eziningi zokuhlola. Eyaziwa kakhulu yiNational Solar Observatory, (NSO) etholakala eSasspot, esiqongweni sentaba yezintaba eduze kwase-Alamagordo, eNew Mexico. I-Dunn Solar Telescope engu-60 intshi (DST) isebenzisa ikhwalithi ecacile yasezulwini etholakala entabeni, evumela ukubuka okukhulu kwelanga. I-DST inezixazululo ezinhle kakhulu futhi yembula izinkathazo eziningi zezingxenye ze-Sun. I-NSO ivuliwe ngesikhathi semini yezivakashi. Kukhona izinkambo izivakashi ezingathatha ngenkathi zikhona. Uhambo olubonakalayo luyatholakala futhi. Ngesikhathi esesikhungweni sokubheka, thatha isikhathi sokubona Isikhungo Sovakashele, futhi ufunde ngendlela izazi zezinkanyezi ezihlola ngayo yonke indawo ngemiboniso eningiliziwe. Kuyathakazelisa ukubona i-Armillary Sphere ne-Sundial, ekhombisa ubuhlobo bomhlaba nesibhakabhaka.
Kungenzeka ukuvakashela ama-telescopes nezinsiza e-Apache Point Observatory kanye nama-telescopes nemiboniso ku-NSO. I-Apache Point ilungile eduze kwe-NSO. I-Apache Point ine-telescope yamamitha angu-3.5, i-telescope yamamitha eyi-1.0 ye-New Mexico State University, ne-Sloan Foundation 2.5 metrescope yamamitha, esetshenziselwa i-Sloan Digital Sky Survey, ebalazwe yonke indawo. I-Sloan idale amabalazwe enemininingwane emithathu ye-one-third yesibhakabhaka. I-Apache Point iqukethe ne-telescope ye-Astrophysical Research Consortium ye-3.5-meter.
I-New Mexico iyisisekelo esiyinhloko sama-telescopes ezinhlobonhlobo ezihlukahlukene futhi inezinye zezintandokazi ezihamba phambili emkhakheni wezinkanyezi.
