Video: Mapping the radio sky
The Very Large Array can't image a big section of sky all at once. Instead, it must scan the sky over time.
The VLA Sky Survey is using this method to create a map of nearly 80% of the observable sky.
Host Summer Ash of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory talks about how the VLA is taking the time to see the big picture of the radio sky.
