    What is our place in the universe?

    Well, we have a literal answer for that -- thanks in part to @NSF's @TheNRAO (with support from @USNavyResearch) the latest global effort to chart the skies . . .

    Where Are We in Space? Astronomers Update Their Celestial Frame of Reference

    How do you know where anything is in space? Sure, you can say, “Oh, that star, it’s the one in the middle of the Big Dipper,” but that’s not very useful in an era of incredible telescopes peeping at...

    The environment that make Earth's driest desert so inhospitable creates ideal conditions for astronomy in Chile, The Atacama's arid climate prevents radio waves from being absorbed by water. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO), C. Padilla

    This is how and the work together to study planet formation. ALMA imaged the outer portions of HL Tau's disk (left), and the Very Large Array detailed the inner portions of thick dust (right): .https://public.nrao.edu/news/hltau-vla/#PRimageSelected …

    Looks like a good night to be at to talk about how the can observe the ever so faint radio waves in faraway galaxy clusters.

    Astronomers watched the tiny radio shadow of asteroid Palma, sweeping across Earth at 32 miles per second, as it passed in front of a galaxy trillions of times as far away. That's some precision tracking! https://public.nrao.edu/news/vlba-measures-asteroids-characteristics/ …

    Astronomers found a creative way to use the continent-wide Very Long Baseline Array to study an asteroid as it passed in front of a distant radio galaxy. This observation provides new information about the asteroid's size, shape, and orbit. https://public.nrao.edu/news/vlba-measures-asteroids-characteristics/ …
