Researchers from the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO), in collaboration with SpaceX, have introduced the Operational Data Sharing (ODS) system, a self-reporting framework designed to foster coexistence between radio telescopes and non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite constellations, such as SpaceX’s Starlink.

NSF VLBA Peers Into the “Eye of Sauron” to Solve Cosmic Neutrino Mystery
Findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters, reveal that the blazar PKS 1424+240 – dubbed the “Eye of Sauron” for its striking appearance – points its powerful jet almost directly at Earth, creating an extreme cosmic lighthouse effect.
Astronomers Catch Supermassive Black Hole in the Act of ‘Waking Up’
This discovery offers new insights into how these cosmic giants begin to influence their environments and could help solve longstanding puzzles about galaxy evolution.
Pride Month Statement
Pride Month is a time for celebration of LGBTQIA+ communities in commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising of 1969. At AUI, we celebrate an environment that is safe and welcoming to all, and the strength that our diversity brings us. We also reflect on our policies, outreach, and behavior to ensure a meaningful and lasting embrace of diversity and inclusion every day—beyond the month of June. At AUI, we remain committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace culture that accepts and appreciates all individuals regardless of race, gender, gender identity/expression, age, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, or national origin and culture.
Innovation and problem solving skills are paramount to science and technology and we ensure a diversity of perspectives and attract and retain top talent through a culture of inclusivity. This month we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ communities and how they help make AUI better as an organization.
