The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach. Astronomers and engineers at CSIRO, Australia's ...

A radio telescope in South Africa has unearthed a giant galaxy—dubbed a "cosmic megastructure"—with plasma jets that measure ...

A chunk of space rock that visited near Earth's orbit last year was widely called a "mini-moon," a nickname that was more ...

Definition: Radio astronomy is a subfield of astronomy that studies celestial objects at radio frequencies. The initial detection of radio waves from the astronomical object was created in the 1930s ...

Based on what scientists thought they knew about fast radio bursts, referred to in astronomy as FRBs, this type of galaxy should not contain the kind of star long thought to produce such bursts.

An upgrade to one of Australia's most capable radio telescopes is allowing astronomers to hunt for fast radio bursts (FRBs) at 10 times their typical efficiency. By sifting through billions of ...

Yet space is big, and despite their size, giant radio galaxies can be hard to find. Discovering one is a big deal, especially if it's as colossal – and peculiar – as one recently found by astronomers ...

Natasha Hurley-Walker is a Senior Lecturer and ARC Future Fellow at the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. Slowly repeating bursts of intense radio ...

As you drive down the road leading to Jodrell Bank Observatory, a sign asks visitors to turn off their mobile phones, stating that the Lovell telescope is so powerful it... As has been theorized ...

The legacy of Arecibo's nearly 60 years of astronomy research is strong, even after its loss in a dramatic 2020 collapse. Arecibo Observatory, located in Puerto Rico, was the world's second ...

Even before entering the mystical realms of UHF design, radio frequency (RF) circuits come with a whole range of fun design aspects as well. A case in point can be found in transmission line ...

SHANGHAI -- Two radio telescopes with 40-meter-diameter antennas, one located in Northeast and the other in Southwest China, were put into use on Friday. These telescopes will aid in exploring deep ...
