   Chapter 1: Introduction to Radio Astronomy The History of Radio Astronomy Radio astronomy, a fascinating field that allows us to study the universe using radio waves, has a rich and intriguing history. From its humble beginnings to the groundbreaking discoveries of today, the journey of radio astronomy has been one of constant innovation and discovery. In this subchapter, we will explore the milestones that have shaped the field, from Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory to China’s F.A.S.T. radio telescope. The origins of radio astronomy can be traced back to the early 1930s when Karl Jansky, an engineer at Bell Labs, accidentally discovered radio waves emanating from the Milky Way. This accidental discovery sparked the interest of scientists and astronomers, leading to the establishment of the first radio observatories. One of the most iconic radio observatories in the world is the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Built in the 1960s, this massive dish-shaped antenna became the w...
