    RADIO TELESCOPE
    October 10, 1980 - New Mexico

    The Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope network in N.M. was dedicated. Conceived in the 60's and built in the 70's the VLA is versatile and sensitive, with angular resolution comparable to that of the best ground-based optical telescopes. The VLA is an "aperture synthesis" interferometric instrument, designed to gain the resolving power of a very large antenna by utilizing a number of smaller antennas. Information from all of its antennas is combined mathematically to produce resolving power equal to that of a single antenna as much as 36 km in diameter. The VLA is arranged in a "Y" pattern, with nine antennas on each of the three arms. Each of the 27 antennae is a fully-steerable 82-ft diam. parabolic dish, weighing approx. 230 tons.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable. More vehicles

Cheese is a delicious food product that is made from milk gathered from certain mammals. Two of those animals from which milk is gathered to make cheese are a cow and a goat. There are a number of benefits to using both types of milk to make cheese products.

However, the use of goat's milk to make goat cheese is a widely popular cheese based on a number of reasons. Two of those reasons that contribute to the popularity of goat cheese are its nutritional value and the actual taste of the goat cheese.

Nutritional Value Of Goat Cheese

If you were to compare the nutritional value of cheese made from cow's milk and cheese made from goat's milk you would notice some significant differences. Those specific areas of difference would be in the area of nutrients, calories, cholesterol and fat.

For example, the protein found in goat's cheese is twice as much as that which is found in cheese made from the milk of a cow. In addition, goat cheese contains fewer calories than other types of cheese. In fact, goat cheese has one less third calories.

Also, if you compare goat cheese with cream cheese you will find that goat cheese has half the cholesterol and fat. This is due to the fact that the fat which is found in milk products comes from fat globules contained in the milk. Characteristically, the fat globules found in goat milk are smaller in nature as compared to the globules found in cow's milk. In addition, this makes the cheese easier to digest.

The Distinct Taste Of Goat Cheese

When it comes to the actual taste of goat cheese many first time tasters are surprised. This is because goat cheese has a very sharp and exciting flavor.

This tart taste is due to the fact that goat cheese contains fatty acids that can be described at mid range level. These acids are called caprylic, capric and caproic acids. It is these acids that give the goat cheese its tangy flavor. Also, the strength of the taste can be due to the hormonal influence of the female goat.

In addition, the taste of the goat cheese can be heavily influenced by the food that the goat is eating. This is due to the fact that goats have a very powerful digestive system. This allows the goats to eat vegetation that other animals cannot assimilate. Therefore, goats may eat plants that are bitter or pungent in flavor which transfers to the milk that is produced.
