Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers have investigated the emission properties ...

FRBs are sporadic, intense flashes of radio wave energy that can be brighter than entire galaxies. In just thousandths of a ...

A blast of radio waves from the outskirts of an ancient galaxy challenges theories about what creates such bursts.

“We [will be able to] move quickly and map out very large areas of the sky,” adds Josh Schlieder, the telescope’s wide-field ...

Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a ...

"It's an amazing radio telescope." More information: Vishwangi Shah et al, A Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source in the Outskirts of a Quiescent Galaxy, The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2025).

Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a ...

A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought could produce such a signal.

Astronomers have pinpointed an FRB outside a dead galaxy for the first time, challenging existing models that link FRBs to star-forming regions. Using the CHIME/FRB Outriggers, they suspect the burst ...

That’s the day an asteroid dubbed 2024 YR4 may strike our planet. Cosmic bookmakers don’t make an impact terribly likely. According to NASA, the odds of a collision are just 2.3%. But that nearly ...

Where things stand: The chances of the asteroid hitting Earth currently stand at 2.1%, or about 1 in 47, and could fall to ...

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon may originate in diverse ways.
