ASTRON is a Dutch research organization dedicated to studying radio astronomy, which explores the universe through radio waves instead of visible light. They operate large radio telescopes that listen to signals from space, helping scientists understand phenomena like stars, galaxies, and cosmic events. ASTRON’s work contributes to advancements in astrophysics, technology, and our knowledge of the universe’s origins and structure. They collaborate globally, share data openly, and develop innovative instruments to explore space in new ways. Think of ASTRON as a hub for listening to and studying the universe’s hidden sounds.
