While Earth days get longer, NASA finds Mars days are getting shorter

One day on Mars is about 37 minutes longer than an Earth day – but it seems both planets are working to fix the gap. Data from NASA’s InSight lander have revealed Martian days are getting ever so slightly shorter, and scientists aren’t sure why.Continu… Continue reading While Earth days get longer, NASA finds Mars days are getting shorter

Unexplained cosmic radio signal repeats every 21 minutes for 35 years

Astronomers have detected a radio signal in our galaxy that blares for several minutes at a time, every 21 minutes, and has been doing so for at least 35 years. This bizarre signal doesn’t fit the bill for any known object without some major revisions … Continue reading Unexplained cosmic radio signal repeats every 21 minutes for 35 years

New technique will more accurately detect ET’s signals from space

Researchers have developed a new technique to better detect extraterrestrial radio signals by weeding out the interference caused by Earth-based devices. It’s hoped that the technique will lead to the discovery of the first evidence of life outside our… Continue reading New technique will more accurately detect ET’s signals from space

SpaceX’s Starlink satellites are leaking disruptive radio signals

Radio telescopes are picking up strange radio signals from an intelligent lifeform – ourselves. A new study has shown that large satellite constellations, such as SpaceX’s Starlink swarm, are unintentionally leaking signals that can interfere with vita… Continue reading SpaceX’s Starlink satellites are leaking disruptive radio signals

Astronomers detect shockwaves in colossal cosmic web

If you could zoom way, way out to look at the universe at its largest scale, you’d see that it’s made up of a colossal cosmic web. Now, astronomers have detected shockwaves moving through this web, providing new insights into large-scale magnetic field… Continue reading Astronomers detect shockwaves in colossal cosmic web

AI-aided alien search detects 8 “very suspicious” radio signals

It’s estimated that the universe contains hundreds of billions of galaxies, and each galaxy has about that many planets, so the chances are incredibly small that Earth is the only place with life. A new AI system has now scoured millions of radio signa… Continue reading AI-aided alien search detects 8 “very suspicious” radio signals

Long-lost invisible stellar graveyard revealed by radio telescope duo

Models of the universe predict that supernova remnants should be far more common than they are. Now, a new image from sensitive radio telescopes reveal that the missing remnants are hiding in plain sight.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Su… Continue reading Long-lost invisible stellar graveyard revealed by radio telescope duo

Wi-Fi radio signals detect problematic breathing patterns

For many people, Wi-Fi is a figurative lifesaver. Now, new research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) might be able to turn it into a literal one as well. By modifying an off-the-shelf Wi-Fi router with a firmware update an… Continue reading Wi-Fi radio signals detect problematic breathing patterns

Construction begins on the world’s largest radio observatory

A highly sensitive, next-generation radio observatory has started to come to life, with construction now officially underway on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) in Australia and South Africa. The dual-site science facility is set to become one of the l… Continue reading Construction begins on the world’s largest radio observatory
