Merging galaxy clusters, big boost for big data, and exciting sessions at the 2014 AAAS meeting

Messier 82, the galaxy in which the nearest supernova in decades recently exploded, also is the closest galaxy that is undergoing a rapid burst of star formation, known as a starburst.

Using the new capabilities of the upgraded VLA, scientists have discovered previously unseen binary companions to a pair of very young protostars.

The VLA will get a new system allowing it to continuously monitor the sky to study the ionosphere and detect short bursts of radio emission from astronomical objects.

VLBI between West Virginia and Shanghai and the world’s first radio sundial.

Astronomers studying gas halos around nearby galaxies were surprised Very Large Array showed that one of their subjects is not a single galaxy, but two, superimposed on the sky to masquerade as one.

Doom may be averted for the Smith Cloud, a gigantic streamer of hydrogen gas that is on a collision course with the Milky Way Galaxy.

Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster narrates our new VLA Visitor Film.

Astronomers using a worldwide network of radio telescopes have found strong evidence that a powerful jet of material propelled to nearly light speed by a galaxy’s central black hole is blowing massive amounts of gas out of the galaxy.

Astronomers have made an important measurement of the magnetic field emanating from a swirling disk of material surrounding the black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.
