Overview
Radio astronomy is a subfield of astronomy that studies celestial objects using radio waves, revealing new classes of objects and providing evidence for the Big Bang theory. Pioneers like Karl Jansky and Grote Reber laid the foundation for modern radio astronomy, which utilizes large radio antennas and interferometry techniques to achieve high angular resolution. Today, radio astronomy continues to advance our understanding of the universe, with institutions like the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project pushing the boundaries of this field.
