VLBA Returning to NRAO, Getting Technical Upgrade
Continent-Wide Radio Telescope System Once Again Part of NRAO The National Science Foundation’s Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a continent-wide radio telescope system, will once again officially be a part of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and will...
VLBA Measures Asteroid’s Characteristics
In an unusual observation, astronomers used the National Science Foundation’s Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to study the effects on radio waves coming from a distant radio galaxy when an asteroid in our Solar System passed in front of the galaxy. The observation...

A test of a powerful new space imaging instrument has given us a gloriously detailed new perspective of the Apollo 15 Moon landing site.
Successful Test Paves Way for New Planetary Radar
The National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Observatory (GBO) and National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and Raytheon Intelligence & Space conducted a test in November to prove that a new radio telescope system can capture high-resolution images in near-Earth space.
The Very Large Array: Astronomical Shapeshifter
In order to study a wide range of astronomical phenomena, the VLA has several shapes or configurations, each with its own advantages.
ALMA Takes First Step Toward Return to Service
Personnel at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have begun the process of returning the facility to an active observational status, following the shutdown caused by COVID-19 in March of 2020.
