Using the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) radio telescope, which is operated by the U. S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO), the team detected polarized light from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow for the first time at radio wavelengths.
NSF VLA Sky Survey Sets New Standard for High-Resolution, Wide-Area Radio Astronomy
The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) has completed observations for the Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS), the most detailed radio survey of the sky ever conducted.
3D Scientific Visualization with Blender by Dr. Brian Kent
Scientific experiments have the potential to produce stunning visuals that aid in analysis as well as convey results to a broader audience.
Blender is an open source software program aimed at creating and manipulating 3D models and data. By utilizing the power of Blender, scientists can fully realize their data visualizations to produce high quality 3D renderings, animations, and video. Any time you see an awesome science animation in the news, you will now know how to develop exciting visualizations and animations with your own data. The book 3D Scientific Visualization with Blender takes you through an understanding of 3D graphics and modeling for different visualization scenarios in the physical sciences. The agility of Blender and its well organized Python API make it an exciting and unique visualization suite every modern scientific/engineering workbench should include. The possibilities for generating visualizations are considerable via this ever growing software package replete with a vast community of users providing support and ideas.
