Behind the Images - Allen Telescope Array

Located in an arid valley near the town of Hat Creek, just north of Lassen Volcanic National Park, the first 42 of a planned 350 radio dishes of the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) collect scientific data from the far reaches of the universe, opening a new era of radio astronomy research. Major funding for the Allen Telescope Array development, construction and management has come from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. Science program support is provided by the National Science Foundation University Radio Observatories program.
