A few years ago, a radio telescope operating out of the desert of Western Australia observed something very weird. Just 4,000 light-years from Earth, something was emitting a bright radio signal like ...

The radio signals from space appear to be coming “almost periodic” from Ross 128, a red dwarf star that’s not yet known to have any planets around it. Professor Abel Mendez is an astrobiologist at the ...

From across the Milky Way galaxy, something has been sending out signals. Every two hours or so, a pulse of radio waves ripples through space-time, appearing in data going back years. Now a team of ...

New research has traced a radio burst from deep in the Milky Way back to its original source. Mark Garlick/University of Warwick/ESO Astronomers are dialed in for this discovery. Researchers for the ...

Astronomers have detected mysterious X-ray signals coming from a nearby white dwarf star for more than 40 years. We may now know where they’re coming from – the death throes of a planet being torn to ...

The hunt for intelligent life beyond Earth has quietly entered a more exacting phase, and one small, cool star has become a ...

Astronomers pinpointed the source of the signal to a low mass star, but it can't generate that much energy on its own. Reading time 3 minutes A steady pulse of bright energy has been emanating from ...

Astronomers are dialed in for this discovery. Researchers for the first time have tracked a pulsing radio signal in space back to its original source — deep in our Milky Way galaxy. The team, led by ...
