Scott Ransom: Part 8 Nuclear Matter

Scott Ransom, an astronomer at NRAO, talks about the states of nuclear matter and how his research is changing the theories governing them.

Scott Ransom: Part 6 New Physics

Scott Ransom, an astronomer at NRAO, talks about how remote observations of pulsars are used as physics experiments.

Timelapse: Construction of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope

This is a time-lapse video composed of individual photos taken daily from the same position during the construction of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in Green Bank, West Virginia, from February, 1993, through July, 2000.

Timelapse: A Weekend with the VLBA

This is a time-lapse video of four out of ten of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) telescopes during a 72-hour period in the Spring of 2013. Clockwise: North Libery, Iowa; Los Alamos, NM; Hancock, NH; Kitt Peak, AZ.

John Findlay at the Dipole in 1957

In this video, shot in October 1957, John Findlay shows off our very first radio antenna in Green Bank, West Virginia.

Most Massive Neutron Star Ever Found

With the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the University of Virginia used the Shapiro Delay, a detectable phenomenon derived from General Relativity, to accurately measure a two solar mass neutron star. The consequences weigh heavily on nuclear physics.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the 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 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.
