Astronomers study objects that are outside of the Earth’s realm, such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies. Chris Carilli is an astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), which operates the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in Socorro, NM. The VLA is a conglomeration of large radio antennas arranged in a miles-long Y formation, which together function like one large telescope. Carilli studies the birth and formation of massive galaxies and cosmic reionization (the period in the history of the universe when stars and galaxies first appeared), by analyzing the very low-frequency (radio spectrum, and therefore invisible to the human eye) light waves emitted by all celestial matter.
