It's incredibly difficult to get high-resolution images in radio astronomy. Radio wavelengths are on the order of millimeters or larger, compared to nanometers for visible light. Since the resolution ...

Isolation dictates where we go to see into the far reaches of the universe. The Atacama Desert of Chile, the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the vast expanse of the Australian Outback—these are where ...

When Ukrainian forces retook the site of the Braude Radio Astronomy Observatory in September 2022 after forcing a Russian ...

A record-breaking cosmic signal detected by South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope is signalling a deeper shift in where frontier ...

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 ...

Two huge radio telescopes have given scientists a rare look beneath the surface of the moon. Signals beamed from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico — the world's largest radio dish, with a ...

After years of investments, African telescopes are emerging as global leaders in frontier astronomy. From South Africa’s MeerKAT capturing the universe’s most distant gigamaser to Ghana’s radio ...

Astronomers have discovered the first radio signals from a unique category of dying stars, called Type Ibn supernovae, and these signals offer new insights into how massive stars meet their demise.

An international team including Cornell researcher Jake Turner has developed a novel analysis method capable of uncovering previously undetectable stellar and exoplanetary signals hidden within ...
