When astronomers talk about an optical telescope, they often mention the size of its mirror. That's because the larger your mirror, the sharper your view of the heavens can be. It's known as resolving ...
Radio telescopes are one of the dark arts of science. Not only do you have to deal with RF wizardry, the photons you’re detecting are so far out of the normal human experience that you really don’t ...

Launching aboard the European Space Agency's (ESA) Ariane 6 rocket on Tuesday, NASA's CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE), will use two small cube satellites—which together measure no ...
When the six tiny spacecraft of NASA's SunRISE (Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment) mission settle into their orbits high above Earth after launching later this year, they'll function as one ...
We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...
NASA's upcoming CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment, known as CURIE, is poised to embark on a mission to unravel the mysteries surrounding solar radio waves. Scheduled for launch on July 9, CURIE ...
The wavelengths of radio light are so large that you can't capture a high-resolution image with a single dish. To capture an image as sharp as, say, the Hubble telescope, you'd need a radio dish tens ...
Some galaxies eject powerful streams of charged particles—jets—from their centers into space. The prominent jet of Messier 87 (M87) in the constellation Virgo is visible over distances of 3,000 ...
The Owens Valley Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA) is a low-frequency radio interferometer composed of 288 crossed broadband dipole antennas. The OVRO-LWA band covers 58 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth ...
Just wondering if multiple wifi access points could be used to create a wifi receiver essentially the size of the distance between the access points. Obviously inspired by the way radio telescopes use ...
Heino Falcke is professor of astroparticle physics and radio astronomy at Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. His main scientific focus is on studying black holes and ultra-high energy ...
