Talk:Very Long Baseline Array

Units of Measurement
An antenna is described as "...nearly as tall as a ten story building" What is that in terms of football fields? Howzabout meters, or feet, perhaps? OK, I'm done. LorenzoB (talk) 09:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect "location"; implies that this is at a single point on Earth
The "Coordinates 34°04′44″N 107°37′06″W" and map with single dot in New Mexico labeled "Location of Very Long Baseline Array" both imply strongly that the VLBA is located at a single point on Earth. The point of the whole project is that it is scattered across a wide area of the Earth, so this implication is very confusing.

It looks like these statements aren't actually part of the article, but are from Wikidata, and so can't easily be edited. Some options for improvement:


 * Change "Coordinates XXXX" to "Operations Center Coordinates XXXXXXXXX"
 * Change "Location of Very Long Baseline Array" to "Location of Operations Center"
 * Remove any reference to the VLBA being "located" at a single point

 * Additionally, the sidebar's location text says "Washington" (state), so the page isn't even internally consistent. 2600:1700:17C0:6160:5C64:980F:B66C:57BF (talk) 13:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
