Google is celebrating what would have been the 105th birthday of astronomer Guillermo Haro with a new Doodle.

Haro, who was born in Mexico during the Mexican revolution, discovered a type of planetary nebulae named Herbig-Haro objects and flare stars, red and blue stars inside the region of the Orion constellation.

"These contributions led to Haro becoming the first Mexican elected to the Royal Astronomical Society, in 1959," Google said of Haro's career. "Haro's legacy endures to this day through the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics, which he established to support science students in their professional careers. The institute also runs an observatory named after him in the Mexican state of Sonora."

Google's homepage features artwork depicting an observatory and a red and blue star constellation that contains the Google logo and Haro's likeness.

Radio telescope array to build surrounding
Guiyang, China (XNA) Mar 13, 2018
Chinese scientists are considering setting up smaller radio telescopes surrounding FAST to increase array resolution, authorities said. According to the FAST observation station with the National Astronomical Observatories, two to 10 radio telescopes measuring 30 meters in diameter may be set up around FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope. The resolution of the array will be around 100 times greater than currently. FAST will have a more advanced radio receiver as early ... read more
