This Death's Head Moth looks a bit like a storm trooper helmet

The sign coming from Sorroco off I-25 said "VERY LARGE ARRAY"

Speaking of star wars. Surprised the kids this morning with Disneyland instead of school. My youngest son is in heaven.

Yeah... @jismay made a joke Dan, based on your description of "array" and being "very large," since you counted at least 60 radio telescope dishes (27). The Very Large Array has been featured in several movies like "Contact" with Jodie Foster and "Terminator Salvation," and one of the "Thor" movies, among others.

It is indeed a very impressive site from the road.

It was also featured in "2010" the sequel to "2001, A Space Odyssey.". And you can get up close to them at the visitors center. Or at least you could 25 years ago when I was last there.

Interesting Star Wars photography project by an actual Marine combat photographer.

As a fan of anything Star Wars and Top Gun that Danger Zone video was pretty awesome!

Drones + Star Wars? Yes please.
