NRAO Supporting Work of Mexican Astronomer
NRAO is supporting a Mexican astronomer’s work to select and develop antenna sites in northern Mexico for the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA).
Milky Way’s Black Hole Was “Birth Cry” of Radio Astronomy
The new image of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy made with the Event Horizon Telescope brings radio astronomy back to its celestial birthplace. The EHT image provides the closest look yet at the region from which radio waves from beyond the Earth were first detected in 1932 — by Karl Jansky, the father of radio astronomy.
Future of Earth’s Defense is Ground-Based Planetary Radar
The Planetary Science Decadal Survey indicated that new ground-based radar systems will be vital research tools for planetary defense and studying planets, moons, asteroids, and other Solar System objects. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Green Bank Observatory are developing new capabilities for the Green Bank Telescope and the Very Long Baseline Array that will meet those needs.
