Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Radio astronomy wins battle with earthly communications Sensitive radio astronomy receivers are blinded by these emissions, just as an optical telescope would be by a searchlight. Dedicated allocations for radio astronomy have been given final approval by the 2,500 delegates to the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-00), which recently concluded a month of deliberations in Istanbul, Turkey. Radio services can transmit in these parts of the spectrum as long as they don't hinder astronomers' attempts to catch faint signals from the cosmos. spaceflightnow.com /news/n0006/16radioastro   (863 words)

A pictorial of the Green Bank Radio Astronomy Observatory The early history of radio astronomy is preserved with a reproduction of the first radio telescope built in 1932 by Karl Jansky, and the original dish type radio telescope built by Grote Reber. If you gathered all the radio energy collected by all the radio telescopes in the world from 1932 to present, the energy would be less than that of a falling snow flake. A full complement of radio receivers suitable for both line and continuum work are available from frequencies as low as 26 MHZ to as high as 25 GHz. www.draco.scsu.edu /gb.html   (378 words)

Science News: Astronomers lament loss of telescope. (National... @ HighBeam Research While officials at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, W. Va., investigate why the 300-foot-diameter dish collapsed, astronomers say its demise will profoundly limit their capabilities. "Radio astronomy is going to be pretty tough without it," says Kenneth J. Johnston of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. He says no set of existing instruments can completely fill the void left by the dish failure. The dish scanned the sky from the North Pole to 19[deg.]S latitude and found radio sources at distances approaching 10 billion light-years. www.highbeam.com /library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1G1:6875096&refid=holomed_1   (471 words)
