COSMIC RADIO WAVES
In 1932, a Bell Labs engineer trying to solve mysterious static from transatlantic phone calls that repeated every 23 hours and 56 minutes accidentally discovered radio waves from the center of the Milky WayIn the early 1930s, Bell Labs engineer Karl Jansky embarked on an investigation into transatlantic radio interference. By constructing a la...
A tiny particle that landed in Antarctica led scientists to a hidden galaxy 11 billion light-years awayA ghost particle from Antarctica has led scientists to a hidden galaxy 11 billion light-years away, pointing to a new kind of cosmic neutri...
For the first time, researchers reached a region near a Black Hole once beyond studyA powerful black hole collision has opened a new chapter in space science. Scientists used the loudest gravitational wave signal ever detec...
Astronomers detect erratic deep-space radio signal repeating every 36 minutes for eight days, then it suddenly ‘switched off’Astronomers have found a strange object in our galaxy. It sent radio signals every 36 minutes for eight days. Then it stopped. This object,...
Strange ‘space laser’ from early universe detected on Earth: Scientists explain why this signal should not existAstronomers have detected an unusually powerful “space laser” signal from about 8 billion light-years away using the MeerKAT radio telescop...
Who Sent the Space Signal? The Magnetar Mystery ExplainedA powerful, fleeting flash of energy, a fast radio burst, was detected originating from within our Milky Way galaxy in April 2020. This eve...
