An international group of astronomers has uncovered the clearest evidence yet that the powerful jets launched by newborn stars dependably record a star’s most violent growing pains, confirming a long‑standing model of how these jets plow through their surroundings.​​

Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy…

Astronomers using the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA)  have made an unprecedented discovery, capturing the first-ever radio signals from a rare class of stellar explosion known as a Type Ibn supernova. This achievement brings fresh insight into the death throes of massive stars and provides a rare glimpse into the final years of a star’s life, previously hidden from view.

The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO), in partnership with several leading Mexican universities and research institutes, has announced a series of landmark agreements and meetings aimed at advancing Mexico’s role in the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) project. This represents a significant step in strengthening international collaboration for one of the world’s most ambitious astronomical observatories.
