Using the supersharp radio “vision” of the National Science Foundation’s Very Long Baseline Array, astronomers have made the first detection of orbital motion in a pair of supermassive black holes in a galaxy some 750 million light-years from Earth.
A new radio telescope array operating at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California has the ability to image the entire sky simultaneously at radio wavelengths with unmatched speed, helping astronomers to search for objects and phenomena that pulse, flicker, flare, or explode.
A new spectroscopic analysis of “Black Beauty,” a 4.4 billion-year-old meteorite found in the Moroccan desert, has given scientists a better picture of the crust beneath Mars’ red dust.
