From the Washington Post:

"SUNSPOT, N.M. – At a small solar observatory [National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, N.M] tucked away in the woods of a national forest here, scientists and other personnel were commanded last week to leave at once. A week later, the facility remains vacant, and no one is willing to say why."
