An artist's depiction shows how brief, bright bursts of radio waves travel through the fog between galaxies, known as the intergalactic medium. Each wavelength allows astronomers to “weigh” the ...

Radio astronomy, which utilizes specific radio wavelengths for celestial observations, faces severe interference from the rapidly increasing number of satellites and ground-based wireless technologies ...

A large radio galaxy study finds our solar system moves faster than theory predicts, raising new questions about how matter ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most intriguing cosmic mysteries of our time, and now we might be one step closer to an answer for what creates them. By examining multiple “radio colors” ...

There's something unusual lurking out in the depths of space: Astronomers have discovered four faint objects that at radio wavelengths are highly circular and brighter along their edges. And they're ...

This could be further proof that magnetars are responsible for most, if not all, FRBs. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists ...
