A groundbreaking new radio image reveals the Milky Way in more detail than ever before, using low-frequency radio “colors” to ...

Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals, according to new research. The source of the ...

A striking orange and blue streak fills this new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble’s visible and infrared capabilities captured this edge-on view of lenticular galaxy NGC 612.

This research was part of a global effort, involving experts from India and Poland. Apart from the lead authors, Dr. Surajit ...

These clouds of radio energy are "radio relics" resulting from powerful shockwaves surging through the hot gas that fills the space amid a galaxy cluster. Credit ...

Radio telescopes have long scanned quiet patches of sky for a lone, artificial-sounding ping, but a growing body of research is pushing astronomers to look instead at the loudest neighborhoods in the ...

With their extremely strong magnetic fields, magnetars have long been considered the prime culprit capable of producing the powerful bursts of energy known as fast radio bursts. The recent burst, ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are puzzling phenomena because their details are so difficult to resolve, and observations to date have been inconsistent. Astronomers added another piece to the puzzle with ...

One of the rare and brief bursts of cosmic radio waves that have puzzled astronomers since they were first detected nearly 10 years ago has finally been tied to a source: an older dwarf galaxy more ...
