‘‘Time’’, Berlioz wrote, ‘‘is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.’’ Not only has time taught a great many (and killed all), but it has also spawned many great teachers of time—and of space. In fact, thinking about space and time has driven important parts of philosophy since antiquity and continues to be at the forefront of advances in fundamental physics. This has natur...

Precise geodesy with the Very Long Baseline Array

We report on a program of geodetic measurements between 1994 and 2007 which used the Very Long Baseline Array and up to 10 globally distributed antennas. One of the goals of this program was to monitor positions of the array at a 1 millimeter level of accuracy and to tie the VLBA into the International Terrestrial Reference Frame. We describe the analysis of these data and report several intere...
