ngVLA: Together We See Moremore_horiz

In June of 2017, NRAO invited four artists to a conference at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to interpret the four science cases that will drive the design of the ngVLA. Galactic Ecosystem by New Media Artist, Eddie Edwards: "This piece is not so much about the process of sequence of events, even though star formation and the cycle of regeneration are part of it, as it is about the ever-present activity of forces within the ecosystem -- a grand ballet of magnetic fields, gases, pulsars, black holes and gravity fields that are not directly visible to us and are only understood through the interpretation of the energy they emit."

In June of 2017, NRAO invited four artists to a conference at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to interpret the four science cases that will drive the design of the ngVLA. Time Domain, Cosmology, Physics sketches by President of the International Association of Astronomical Artists, Jon Ramer: "As I climbed inside one of the VLA dishes I was struck with an image of different packets of data streaming in from the universe, each at different energy intensities and frequencies. This image shows data coming into the receiver and beaming down to the computers to be analyzed.

Can you figure out the secret message in the data stream?"

In June of 2017, NRAO invited four artists to a conference at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to interpret the four science cases that will drive the design of the ngVLA. Galaxy Assembly Through Cosmic Time sketches by NRAO Artist/Illustrator Bill Saxton: "Fascination by the stories and information that can be derived by the observation and analysis of the inert presence, composition, or motion of cold gas throughout the universe is the inspiration for this work. Although they are invisible, I marvel in awe that these omnipresent gases hold the history of the evolution of the universe and therefore the stories of all of us in them."

Cradle of Life Sketches by President of the International Aerospace Imagineering, Aldo Spadoni: "This piece symbolically portrays the proposed Next Generation Very Large Array over the state of New Mexico, looking north. It also represents the compelling future radio astronomy investigation areas... key to understanding the initial conditions that lead to the development of life."

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
	Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
	The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
	AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
