What exactly are FRBs, and why do we want to observe them? Allow Professor of Astronomy Vikram Ravi to explain. 📡 www.deepsynoptic.org

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be used to map out the distribution of matter in our universe. The Caltech Deep Synoptic Array (DSA) will be able to find tens of thousands of FRBs. Listen to Professor of Astronomy Vikram Ravi to explain more and why that is so exciting.

Dr. Katie here - I had a great time joining the arc Reno show on FOX 11 to speak with them about the DSA project. Huge shout out to Marianna who was an exceptional host and showed how much skill goes into these types of shows that are super fast-paced and constantly changing: bit.ly/3RAguTp

Our Special Session at #AAS248 was a great success 🔭 ‼️ We highlighted the wide range of science that data from the DSA will enhance: Multimessenger Astronomy, the Dynamic Radio Sky, Our Cosmic History (deep HI and continuum imaging), as well as the Dark Sector & Strong Gravity.

The NNRY Star Train in Ely is a unique way to enjoy the dark skies from a historical railroad. And it was just featured in @nytimes.com! For the past two years, @caltechastro.bsky.social and the DSA provided professional astronomer volunteers that helped passengers learn more about the night sky.
