New Mexico’s Plains of San Agustin are otherworldly: Silence, sand and sharp plants reign on the valley floor. Knobbly volcanic rock rises above. Pronghorns’ legs and jackrabbits’ ears break up the ...
A selection of active galaxies with supermassive black holes at their centers, illustrating the variety of shapes that can ...
When the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) Observatory goes online later this decade, it will create one of science's biggest data challenges. The SKA Observatory is a global radio telescope project built ...
Large radio telescope systems are pivotal instruments in modern astronomy and related fields, as they enable the capture of faint cosmic signals and support various high-resolution observational ...
The latest search for life on the headline–making exoplanet K2-18 b has come up empty. But the team says that they have developed a framework that could shape how scientists hunt for extraterrestrial ...
Using the MeerKAT telescope, astronomers have discovered a new odd radio circle that appears to be associated with an elliptical galaxy known as WISEA J021912.43–050501.8. The finding, which could ...
SKA-Low Senior Commissioning Scientist and Adjunct Associate Professor, Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy, Curtin University Part of the world’s biggest mega-science facility – the SKA Observatory – ...
Radio telescopes let you study the universe by collecting faint radio waves from distant objects. To see extremely small targets, such as the regions around supermassive black holes, those telescopes ...
An unusual double-ring structure spotted in space with the help of citizen scientists has turned out to be a cosmic rarity. The celestial anomaly, captured by a radio telescope, is an odd radio circle ...
