Re: What is this, please?

looks like a lens flare. Compared to the picture center, it's exactly diametrically opposite that center. It's
shaped a bit odd, because of the interference with the trees, the light entering the camera directly from
the sun is being shaped by the trees/leaves.

Re: Rename the VLA

The name EVLA was used to get funding for the project, where 'E" stands for Expanded and pretty much covers what it was all about. It's hard to beat that one, but good luck to them.
