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.
The VLA in pictures and video
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory recently unveiled two great resources for learning more about the Very Large Array (VLA). Watch the video below, then head on over the to The VLA Explorer for a thorough tour of the VLA facilities!
Welcome to central New Mexico where the National Radio Astronomy Observatory operates the world’s most versatile radio telescope, the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. Here, we have put together a collection of exclusive video tours we call the VLA Explorer.
