Named here by National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at National Radio Astronomy Observatory, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Contact 1997

“Located on the New Mexico Tech university campus, the AOC serves as the headquarters for the Very Large Array (VLA), which was the setting for the 1997 movie Contact, and is also the control center for the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA).” Wikipedia
