The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), named for an engineer who detected radio waves coming from outer space in 1931, began operating in 1980 and is run by the National Radio Astronomy ...

A prototype antenna for the proposed Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) radio telescope in New Mexico. If funded, the project would greatly expand U.S. radio astronomy capabilities.

Most radio telescopes, like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in Chile, are in areas far from any source of interference. But a new site designed to test technologies and interference solutions ...

A NASA satellite that’s been orbiting as space junk since 1967, Relay 2, emitted an unexpected, powerful radio burst that ...

Despite the name, the Very Large Telescope is not one telescope but rather four 8.2-meter (26.9 feet) telescopes supplemented by four 1.8-meter (5.9 feet) Auxiliary Telescopes.

If I ask you to picture a radio telescope, you probably imagine a large dish pointing to the sky, or even an array of dish antennas such as the Very Large Array. What you likely don't imagine is ...

The new project is called the “Next Generation Very Large Array.” The National Radio and Astronomy Observatory says the expansion will bring 260 new antennas.

“There’s fierce international competition in radio astronomy, with multiple major projects like the Square Kilometre Array in the southern hemisphere and the Next Generation Very Large Array ...

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin 50 miles west of Socorro ...

The completed Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is intended to consist of approximately 350 6.1 meter offset Gregorian dishes at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory site in northern California. Given the number ...

The plains house the aptly named Very Large Array (VLA)—a radio telescope made of 27 different antennas, each of which looks like a home satellite dish on steroids. When the antennas are pointed ...
