In-Person

In Star Trek, starship deflector dishes emit a powerful energy field that deflects space debris and other hazards, ensuring the safety of the vessel as it travels at warp speeds.  With their ability to manipulate energy, these devices parallel real-world technology used at the Very Large Array (VLA), where giant antenna dishes capture radio waves from deep space, collecting and focusing faint signals from across the universe. Both are emblematic of humanity’s quest to explore and understand the cosmos—whether through the imaginative lens of science fiction or the rigorous observation of real-world astronomy.  Join the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in hands-on activities exploring the properties of light waves and learn more about how their telescopes use data from multiple dishes to explore the universe. Registration required.
