Astronomers share a beautiful image of a giant molecular cloud Satsuki Then - May 5, 2021, 7:16am CDT Astronomers from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory have shared a beautiful image of a giant molecular cloud called W49A. The giant molecular cloud is a stellar nursery where new stars are formed. Astronomers on the project used the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to take the high-resolution radio images of the cluster. W49A is 36,0...

ITU Despite global efforts to inspire and engage women and girls in science, women and girls in many countries remain excluded, held back by gender biases, social norms, and expectations, which influence the quality of female education as well as career options. Gender inequalities not only exist in the real world, but also in film and television. A study published by the Geena Davis Institute on female characters in popular films from around the world illustrates how gender stereotypes are rei...

Advisor: Bryan Changala Background: I am a postdoctoral fellow in the McCarthy group at the SAO. My research is focused on using high precision experimental and computational spectroscopy to better understand the quantum structure, dynamics, and chemistry of small molecules. I received my PhD in Physics in 2019 from JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, and my S.B. in Chemistry and Physics in 2013 from MIT. Project: Multiple research opportunities are available in the McCarthy lab this summer ...

Center for Astrophysics EHT Collaboration Cambridge, MA – In April 2019, scientists released the first image of a black hole in galaxy M87 using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). However, that remarkable achievement was just the beginning of the science story to be told. Data from 19 observatories released today promise to give unparalleled insight into this black hole and the system it powers, and to improve tests of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. “We knew that the first direc...

Space 24 August 2007 The biggest known hole in the universe has left a cold-spot in the cosmic microwave radiation (Illustration: Bill Saxton, NRAO/AUI/NSF, NASA) Radio astronomers have found the biggest hole ever seen in the universe. The void, which is nearly a billion light years across, is empty of both normal matter and dark matter. The finding challenges theories of large-scale structure formation in the u...
