Cosmic Gravity Wave Observatory

By observing reference signals from pulsars, quasars, and other cosmic sources in three dimensions, we can observe the intersection of gravity waves propagating across our line of sight to these sources, mapping the propagation of gravity waves across the interstellar medium. Learn More

Cosmic Cartography and Chronography

A biproduct of the cosmic gravity wave interferometry approach is that it also tells you exactly when and where you are. Learn More

Current Projects in this Guild

• Open Observatory
  A comprehensive public kit designed to help communities build their own observatories at their land projects. It provides detailed guides, examples, and specifications for various components of an observatory, enabling groups to create dedicated spaces for astronomical observation and education.
• Very Small Array
  A distributed software project for microcontrollers and single board computers using affordable software defined radio (SDR) hardware to collaborate on Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI).
