In radio astronomy, a fast radio burst (FRB) is a transient radio pulse of length ranging from a fraction of a millisecond to a few…
Scientists studying V Hydrae (V Hya) have witnessed the star’s mysterious death throes in unprecedented detail. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and data…
A century ago two prominent astronomers held a debate at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. The topic concerned the nature of the faint spiral…
Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) made a rare detection of a likely stellar…
A Cosmic Whodunit: ALMA Study Confirms What’s Robbing Galaxies of Their Star-Forming Gas VERTICO Survey unmasks violent environments as culprit in mass galaxy quenching mystery….
NRAO project ranked as important new initiative. The Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey (Astro2020) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences has published its report…
New study marks most distant detection of required element for life as we know it in a regular star-forming galaxy. Water has been detected in…
New study reveals that early galaxies have no fuel, and something is stopping them from refilling the tank. Early massive galaxies—those that formed in the…
Radio light comes in a rainbow of colors. We see these colors with radio bands, and each band has a story to tell about the…
A new view of the region closest to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) has shown important details…
The National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Observatory (GBO) and National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and Raytheon Intelligence & Space (RI&S) have released a new high-resolution…
Scientists connect the dots between where planets form and what they’re made of. An international collaboration of scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)…
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) congratulates the four astronomers honored by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation which awarded them the 2022 New Horizons in Physics…
Astronomers have found dramatic evidence that a black hole or neutron star spiraled its way into the core of a companion star and caused that…
ALMA data proves that ram pressure stripping doesn’t spell an immediate end for galaxies. A new study from scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array…
