There are parts of the universe that are extremely hard to see, even for our most advanced telescopes. Gas and dust don't ...

Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, could ...

A recent study utilizing the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has confirmed the "radio-quiet" characteristics of four magnetars and one magnetar-like pulsar. Conducted by ...

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came ...

A team of astronomers just discovered FRB 20240304B, a fast radio burst (FRB) from 11 billion years ago. It is the farthest FRB we now know, dating just about 3 billion years after the universe began.

What is actually missing? The story dates back to a foundational 2020 study led by astronomer J-P Macquart at Curtin ...

A team of astronomers has uncovered what may be the first object ever associated with a fast radio burst (FRB) in another galaxy. Using highly precise radio observations and infrared imaging from 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 ...

Orion is about as familiar as a patch of sky gets. Visible without a telescope, studied by nearly every major instrument ever pointed at the heavens, mapped and catalogued across centuries of ...

In the hills of China’s Guizhou province, a natural rock bowl cradles the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. This instrument, called FAST—the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio ...
