A new low-frequency radio image offers the most comprehensive view yet of the Milky Way’s southern sky. Astronomers at the International Center of (ICRAR) have produced the most detailed low-frequency ...

On January 10, 1946, the U.S. army bounced radar signals off of Earth's moon for the first time ever. Known as "Project Diana ...

Radio waves, longer and less energetic than visible light, give astronomers access to some of the most obscure physics in the cosmos. If you ask an astronomer to choose the single most exciting ...

In the early 1930s, Bell Labs was experimenting with making wireless transatlantic calls. The communications goliath wanted to understand the static that might crackle across the ocean, so it asked an ...

Visible light is just one part of the electromagnetic spectrum that astronomers use to study the universe. The James Webb Space Telescope was built to see infrared light, other space telescopes ...

And it would not require the James Webb Space Telescope. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Astronomers think that a new observation ...

The largest ever survey of low-frequency radio emissions from satellites has detected emissions from the Starlink satellite “mega-constellation” across scientifically important low-frequency bands, ...

No astronomer had ever seen anything like it. No theorist had predicted it. Yet there it was — a 5-millisecond radio burst that had arrived on 24 August 2001 from an unknown source seemingly billions ...

We have just published evidence in Nature Astronomy for what might be producing mysterious bursts of radio waves coming from distant galaxies, known as fast radio bursts or FRBs. Two colliding neutron ...

If you look up at the sky on a clear night, shortly after one of SpaceX's many Falcon 9 rocket launches, you might see a bright string of lights zooming across the heavens. But behind these lights ...
