NRAO

NRAO, or the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, is a U.S. organization that operates advanced telescopes to study the universe through radio waves rather than visible light. These telescopes help scientists explore cosmic phenomena like black holes, galaxies, and star formation, providing insights into the universe’s structure and origins. NRAO supports scientific research by building, maintaining, and offering access to its observatories for astronomers worldwide. Its work enhances our understanding of the cosmos, contributing significantly to astrophysics and related fields.
