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 ...

Astronomers tracing a string of strange radio bursts from the direction of the Milky Way’s center have zeroed in on GCRT ...

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 ...

A striking orange and blue streak fills this new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble’s visible and infrared capabilities captured this edge-on view of lenticular galaxy NGC 612.

These clouds of radio energy are "radio relics" resulting from powerful shockwaves surging through the hot gas that fills the space amid a galaxy cluster. Credit ...

Scientists have traced a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) to the edge of an ancient galaxy where star formation has drastically dropped. Researchers are struggling to explain what caused it. When you ...

One of the rare and brief bursts of cosmic radio waves that have puzzled astronomers since they were first detected nearly 10 years ago has finally been tied to a source: an older dwarf galaxy more ...

Radio telescopes have long scanned quiet patches of sky for a lone, artificial-sounding ping, but a growing body of research is pushing astronomers to look instead at the loudest neighborhoods in the ...
