Astronomers Detect Magnetic Fingerprint of a Cosmic Explosion for the First Time
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.
Teaching STEM Through Astronomy’s Lens
Astronomy programs can provide many advantages to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teachers and students. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific’s Project ASTRO is one stellar example of this. ASTRO partners professional and amateur astronomers with educators – who visit partner classrooms at least four times during the school year to conduct hands-on activities.
