A large spiral galaxy nearly a billion light-years away harbors a supermassive black hole at its center, just like our […] ...

European astronomers have carried out multi-wavelength radio observations of a radio galaxy designated 3C 111. Results of the ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most puzzling astronomical phenomena. These brief yet intense bursts of radio waves, lasting just milliseconds, originate from deep space. Scientists first ...

No local broadcasters used shortwave, but that didn’t stop South Africans from tuning in to international broadcasts, including VoA, the BBC World Service and Radio France Internationale. “Shortwave ...

millisecond-long bursts of radio waves from space, advancing our understanding of one of the universe’s most puzzling phenomena. “This result reaffirms long-held suspicions about the connection ...

But de Ruiter didn’t think the star would be able to produce radio waves by itself. Something else had to be instigating it.The pulses differed from fast radio bursts, which are incredibly ...

However, a groundbreaking revelation has now uncovered the true source of these mysterious radio waves – and it’s not aliens, but a rare and unusual binary star system located over 1,600 light-years ...

THE modified form of the ionic deflexion theory of wave propagation, discussed by Messrs. Nichols and Schelling (NATURE, March 7, vol. 115, p. 334), appears to have been suggested in England and ...

When they’re especially dense, they can be called pulsars – and often emit bursts of radio waves that we can pick up here on Earth. It was found that the neutron star sent out pulses unlike ...

These flashes of radio waves can last anywhere from several seconds to a few minutes. Despite the difference in duration, the pulses repeat regularly, once every two hours.

From across the Milky Way galaxy, something has been sending out signals. Every two hours or so, a pulse of radio waves ripples through space-time, appearing in data going back years. Now a team of ...
