摘要: Radio astronomy is the study of universe through naturally produced radio waves reaching us from a variety celestial objects. Over last 60 years, many extraordinary objects and phenomena have been discovered by astronomers that revolutionized our understanding universe. This new science was born when Karl Jansky (1933) serendipitously emission in form noise being emitted direction Milky Way galaxy. discovery remained unnoticed optical physicists for years. In 1935 Grote Reber, young amateur engineer, constructed 10 m diameter parabolic dish his backyard succeeded to make map (Reber 1940). Development radar during World War II resulted sun (Hey 1946a; Reber 1944; Southworth 1945). The publication these results soon after end war, led establishments active groups mainly Australia UK, who investigated nature also several discrete sources associated with galaxy distant galaxies. These remarkable discoveries worldwide interest great potential window electromagnetic spectrum exploration universe, resulting development outstanding telescope facilities world as well India.
