The Event Horizon Telescope has observed the finest detail ever seen in a jet produced by a supermassive black hole.

Thankful Cromartie, a NRAO Grote Reber doctoral fellow at the University of Virginia’s Department of Astronomy, has received an Einstein Fellowship under the prestigious NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP).

Astronomers using ALMA have found striking orbital geometries in protoplanetary disks around binary stars.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and school closings, the NRAO and the GBO are closing facilities in three states. ALMA science observing has been temporarily suspended.

In order to reduce the risk of possible exposure to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), all group tours of the VLA are cancelled. Visitors will be able to access the visitor center, the outdoor walking tour, and the gift shop.

Raytheon Company, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Green Bank Observatory entered a cooperative research and development agreement.
