Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely ...

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon ...

North Liberty’s best kept secret looks like a giant satellite dish nestled in a wooded area between North Liberty and ...

Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.

The journey of astronomical telescopes began in the early 17th century when Galileo Galilei crafted his first refracting ...

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

Fast radio bursts are mysterious and brief flashes of radio emissions that were thought to be produced by magnetars, highly magnetized rotating neutron stars. Yet magnetars appear primarily in young ...

Astronomers have observed over a thousand of them to date; some come from sources that repeatedly emit FRBs, while others ...

Unprecedented discovery of fast radio bursts challenges existing theories. Astronomers detect repeated signals from an ...

Large stars have cosmically short lifetimes, so the fact that this FRB occurred in an old, long-dead galaxy means that the ...

The giant radio galaxy (GRG) will help broaden astronomers understanding of the largest structures in the universe.
