Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely ...

These mysterious objects can have masses several million or billion times that of the Sun and are so dense that they warp space time around them. As far as astronomers know, all galaxies harbour a ...

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon ...

North Liberty’s best kept secret looks like a giant satellite dish nestled in a wooded area between North Liberty and ...

Only radio telescopes can locate GRGs, which glow at radio frequencies. As radio telescopes like MeerKAT get more sensitive, ...

Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.

The journey of astronomical telescopes began in the early 17th century when Galileo Galilei crafted his first refracting ...

Fast radio bursts are mysterious and brief flashes of radio emissions that were thought to be produced by magnetars, highly magnetized rotating neutron stars. Yet magnetars appear primarily in young ...

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

Astronomers have observed over a thousand of them to date; some come from sources that repeatedly emit FRBs, while others ...

Large stars have cosmically short lifetimes, so the fact that this FRB occurred in an old, long-dead galaxy means that the ...
