Radio astronomy is a subfield of astronomy that studies celestial objects at radio frequencies. The first detection of radio waves from an astronomical object was in 1933, when Karl Jansky at Bell Telephone Laboratories reported radiation coming from the Milky Way .
Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation.

Radio and radar astronomy, study of celestial bodies by examination of the radio-frequency energy they emit or reflect. Radio waves penetrate much of the gas and dust in space, as well as the clouds of planetary atmospheres, and pass through Earth’s atmosphere with little distortion.
Radio astronomy is the study of celestial objects that give off radio waves. With radio astronomy, we study astronomical phenomena that are often invisible or hidden in other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Radio telescopes detect and amplify radio waves from space, turning them into signals that astronomers use to enhance our understanding of the Universe. All astronomy is about observing waves of light.

Radio astronomy is often described as “observing the invisible universe”, and one example is studying magnetic fields around planets, stars, and even galaxies.
Radio astronomy reveals parts of the invisible sky. By detecting radio waves emitted by a wide range of astronomical objects and phenomena, radio telescopes provide a totally different view of our Universe.
The Itty Bitty Telescope (IBT) can be made from a small TV satellite dish. It is highly portable radio telescope used to demonstrate basics about radio astronomy. It can be connected to a computer running Sky Pipe software or a strip chart recorder.
