Buried in radio data, astronomers found something vast — a galaxy stretching more than 16 million light years. This is the discovery of Alcyoneus, the true giant of the universe. I’m 101 years old.

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy cluster stumbled upon ancient radio signals that might hold clues to the formation of the early universe. While studying the distant galaxy cluster known as ...

Citizen band radio, more commonly known as CB radio, was first developed in 1945, but took a while to reach the truck-driving masses. By 1958, the FCC had established the first regulations and 23 ...

Alongside a crescent moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn will become visible to stargazers just before dawn on Friday morning. According to NASA, the planetary phenomenon will be clearest about 45 minutes ...

The burst's host galaxy is more than halfway across the observable universe and up to 100 times fainter than other host galaxies. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

A staccato blast of electromagnetic energy has been tracked to an old, dead galaxy for the first time. The discovery supports the idea that there are more ways to produce such flares, called fast ...

Astronomers have detected a repeating radio signal, captured multiple times, originating from an ancient and inactive galaxy. This discovery challenges current theories about the origin of fast radio ...

Fast radio bursts, strong pulses of energy detected in radio-wave frequencies, may be a common phenomenon in the cosmos, but their enigmatic origins are something astronomers are only beginning to ...

With their extremely strong magnetic fields, magnetars have long been considered the prime culprit capable of producing the powerful bursts of energy known as fast radio bursts. The recent burst, ...

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