Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) scientists conducted a census of nearly 100 galaxies in the nearby Universe. This census helped them to characterize…
GBT-VLBA radar image of the region where Apollo 15 landed in 1971. The snake-like feature is Hadley Rille, a remnant of ancient volcanic activity, probably…

A Blazar in the Early Universe: Details Revealed in Galaxy’s Jet 12.8 Billion Light-Years From Earth
The VLBA image of the blazar PSO J0309+27 is composed of data from three observations made at different radio frequencies. Red is from an observation…

Artist’s conception of a galaxy with an active nucleus propelling jets of material outward from the galaxy’s center. Credit: Sophia Dagnello, NRAO/AUI/NSF Astronomers using data…
Artist’s illustration of a galaxy in the early universe that is very dusty and shows the first signs of a rotationally supported disk. In this…
Composite image showing Jupiter’s moon Io in radio (ALMA), and optical light (Voyager 1 and Galileo). The ALMA images of Io show for the first…
Artist’s conception of a magnetar — a superdense neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field. In this illustration, the magnetar is emitting a burst…
Artist’s impression of the explosion and burst of gravitational waves emitted when a pair of superdense neutron stars collide. New observations with radio telescopes show…
Multi-frequency composite VLBA image of the galaxy TXS 0128+554, 500 million light-years from Earth. The image shows young radio jets originating near a supermassive black…
TXS 0128+554, outlined in red here, is an elliptical galaxy located 500 million light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Credit: Sloan Digital Sky Survey Not…
Illustration shows how the star’s motion around the center of mass between it and the planet causes a “wobble” in its motion through space. The…
ALMA image of the planet-forming disk around the young star RU Lup. The inset image (lower left, red disk) shows a previous (DSHARP) observation of…
This artist’s illustration of Supernova 1987A shows the dusty inner regions of the exploded star’s remnants (red), in which a neutron star might be hiding.…
Radio/Optical composite image of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4217. Magnetic field lines (green), revealed by the VLA, extend far above and below the plane…
Artist impression of the atmosphere of Antares. As seen with the naked eye (up until the photosphere), Antares is around 700 times larger than our…
Image of star cluster G286.21+0.17, caught in the act of formation. This is a multiwavelength mosaic of more than 750 ALMA radio images, and 9…
Artist’s conception illustrating a disk of water-bearing gas orbiting the supermassive black hole at the core of a distant galaxy. By observing maser emission from…
When a pair of young protostars called IRAS 4A was observed at millimeter wavelengths, left, the “hot corino” of complex organic molecules surrounding one of…
