Satellites that retire are deorbited into a graveyard orbit within 25 years of their missions ending. This is the case with ...

A powerful and mysterious blast of radio waves that astronomers believed was a fast radio burst (FRB) from far beyond the ...

The scientists originally assumed that the signal came from a distant object in the cosmos, but further analysis revealed ...

Space is a vast, weird place, and even our brightest minds are still only just scratching the surface of all it has to tell ...

A team of astronomers and astrophysicists affiliated with several institutions in Australia has found that a mysterious fast ...

This rethink was brought about by an FRB first detected last year, which has been traced back to the "cosmic graveyard" of a massive "dead" galaxy filled with ancient stars located 2 billion light ...

In the vast cosmos, fast radio bursts (FRBs) remain one of the most mysterious astrophysical phenomena ever discovered. These intense, millisecond-duration radio pulses can release in the radio band ...

Guided by fast radio bursts, astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics have mapped how ordinary matter is distributed in the ...

Since the first fast radio burst (FRB) was discovered in 2007, astronomers have detected thousands of FRBs, whose locations range from within our own galaxy to as far as 8 billion light-years away.

But new FRB is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old galaxy without young, active stars — calling those assumptions into question. “Just when you think you understand an ...

The FRB in the new study was first spotted in February 2024. It continued to pulse through July 2024, which helped researchers to find its position in the sky. Once that was done, ...
