Radio astronomers under siege

| Description | Journal: Physics World Everyone knows that optical astronomy is plagued by man-made light pollution, forcing astronomers to move ever further away from civilization to find dark skies. But considerably fewer are aware that radio astronomy is also increasingly threatened by man-made pollution – in this case, radio-frequency interference. As the "wireless revolution" continues to spin a web of cellular phones and satellites around the entire planet, the precious segments of the radio spectrum that allow astrophysicists to study everything from the formation of primordial galaxies to the veracity of the Big Bang hypothesis are under siege by the relentless forces of global commerce. |
