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.
