Giant Gas Cloud Made of Atoms Formed in First Stars
July 23, 2003 at 5:23 pm | News Release

Astronomers studying the most distant quasar yet found in the Universe have discovered a massive reservoir of gas containing atoms made in the cores of some of the first stars ever formed.

PSS J2322+1944
Giant Cosmic Lens Reveals Secrets of Distant Galaxy
April 3, 2003 at 5:49 pm | News Release

An international team of astronomers has discovered that a young galaxy had a central disk of gas in which hundreds of new stars were being born every year — at a time when the Universe was only a fraction of its current age.

Young Star Probably Ejected From Triple System
January 8, 2003 at 4:54 pm | News Release

Astronomers analyzing nearly 20 years of data from the National Science Foundation’s Very Large Array radio telescope have discovered that a small star in a multiple-star system in the constellation Taurus probably has been ejected from the system after a close encounter with one of the system’s more-massive components, presumed to be a compact double star. This is the first time any such event has been observed.

Giant Radio Jet Coming From Wrong Kind of Galaxy
January 8, 2003 at 4:51 pm | News Release

Giant jets of subatomic particles moving at nearly the speed of light have been found coming from thousands of galaxies across the Universe, but always from elliptical galaxies or galaxies in the process of merging — until now.

NGC 326
Scientists Detect ‘Smoking Gun’ of Colliding Black Holes
August 1, 2002 at 3:20 pm | News Release

Images from the National Science Foundation’s Very Large Array radio telescope have uncovered compelling evidence that supermassive black holes at the hearts of large galaxies collide when their host galaxies merge.

Astronaut Returns Space-Flown Flag to NRAO
April 13, 2002 at 2:00 pm | News Release

A NASA Astronaut who carried a flag bearing the logo of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory on last month’s Shuttle flight returned that flag to the observatory on Friday, April 12, at a ceremony in Socorro.

Infrared Image of Supernova Remnant; Dashed Line and Arrow Indicate Pulsar's Motion Detected by VLA.
Age Discrepancy Throws Pulsar Theories into Turmoil
March 11, 2002 at 2:51 pm | News Release

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s Very Large Array radio telescope have found a pulsar — a spinning, superdense neutron star — that apparently is considerably younger than previously thought.

GBT-VLA Image of Orion Nebula.
GBT, VLA Team Up to Produce New Image of Orion Nebula
January 10, 2002 at 2:48 pm | News Release

Combining the best features of the National Science Foundation’s new Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia with those of the NSF’s Very Large Array in New Mexico, astronomers have produced a vastly improved radio image of the Orion Nebula and developed a valuable new technique for studying star formation and other astrophysical processes.

National Science Board Approves VLA Expansion
November 20, 2001 at 12:23 am | Announcement

The National Science Board, the governing body for the National Science Foundation (NSF), has approved an expansion project for the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in New Mexico.

Planetary Nebula K3-35
Star Caught in the Act of Planetary Nebula Formation
November 15, 2001 at 12:20 am | News Release

A team of astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s Very Large Array radio telescope has caught an old star during the very brief period of its transformation into a planetary nebula, a shining bubble of glowing gas with a hot remnant star at its center.
