Impression of a Fast Radio Burst (FRB) reaching Earth. ( Scientists trace mysterious radio waves to a small, faraway galaxy.)  Astronomers have located the origin of mysterious radio waves that have baffled them for a decade.  The fast radio burst, or FRB 121102, has been traced to a faint, dwarf galaxy three billion light-years away.  “It’s an incredibly, tiny, nondescript galaxy to be producing something this bright,” ( 09012017 ) Radio Astronomy, Early Science, Radio Waves, Satellite Dish, Ghost And Ghouls, Radio Wave, Age Of Aquarius, Space Telescope, Science Fiction Art

With the right additional hardware, the RTL-SDR software defined radio can be used as a super cheap radio telescope for radio astronomy experiments such as Hydrogen line detection, meteor scatter and Pulsar observing. Hydrogen Line Marcus Leech of Science Radio Laboratories, Inc has released a tutorial document titled 'A Budget-Conscious Radio Telescope for 21cm', (doc version) (pdf here) where he shows: Two slightly-different designs for a simple, small, effective, radio telescope capable…

Many strong sources of radio waves are invisible in normal light, so looking at radio waves reveals a completely different picture of our universe. Even objects like the Sun and planets can reveal new features when viewed with radio telescopes, like Jodrell Bank. Radio waves are also better at travelling long distances than shorter wavelengths, so we can get clearer signals from very distant objects in radio than we can in normal light. www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/20937803 Astronomy Basics, Radio Telescope, Radio Astronomy, Astronomical Observatory, Radio Waves, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Space Tourism, Library Skills, Radio Wave
