The team used radio waves to peer behind a curtain of dust that was obscuring them from view, and the find suggests that there were far more galaxies in the early u… Continue reading Astronomers spot “invisible” galaxies at the dawn of the universe

Cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts deepens with flurry of activity

A huge new dataset could soon help unlock the cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs). In the space of a few weeks, over 1,600 new signals were detected coming from one of the most well-studied sources of FRBs, essentially ruling out a leading hypot… Continue reading Cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts deepens with flurry of activity

Mysterious radio signals may be coming from undiscovered planets

Astronomers have discovered strange radio signals that could be coming from unseen planets. Models suggest that some of the signals could be produced through interactions between the magnetic fields of planets and their host stars, which could represen… Continue reading Mysterious radio signals may be coming from undiscovered planets
