Astronomers detect regular rhythm of radio waves, with origins unknown
Jun 18, 2020 (SPX)
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are short, intense flashes of radio waves that are thought to be the product of small, distant, extremely dense objects, though exac...
New Organic Molecule Discovered in Interstellar Cloud
Jun 18, 2020 (SPX)

A Cosmic Baby Is Discovered, and It's Brilliant
Jun 18, 2020 (JPL)
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory spotted the young object on March 12, when it released a massive burst of X-rays. Follow-up studies by the European Space ...
Why pulsars shine bright: A half-century-old mystery solved
Jun 16, 2020 (SPX)
The stars act like stellar lighthouses, shooting beams of radio waves from their magnetic poles. For more than a half-century, the cause of those beams has conf...
Applying 'magic angle' twistronics to manipulate the flow of light
Jun 15, 2020 (SPX)
The findings, published in the journal Nature, hold the promise for leapfrog advances in a variety of light-driven technologies, including nano-imaging devices;...
Ingredients for Life Appear in Stellar Nurseries Long Before Stars are Born
Jun 12, 2020 (SPX)
These molecules also appear much earlier than conventional wisdom suggested, hundreds of thousands of years before stars actually begin to form, the researchers...
New Horizons conducts the first interstellar parallax experiment
Jun 12, 2020 (SPX)
More than four billion miles from home and speeding toward interstellar space, NASA's New Horizons has traveled so far that it now has a unique view of the near...
New Method to Study Barred Spiral Galaxies
Jun 12, 2020 (SPX)
In spiral galaxies, a large disk of stars and gas rotates around a central bulge. Spiral galaxies take their name from bright swirls (spiral arms) in the disk w...
Russian-German telescope completes first all-sky hard x-ray survey
Jun 11, 2020 (Sputnik)
"We have made it - the ART-XC telescope of the Spektr-RG observatory has completed its first all-sky survey! As we have predicted, it took almost a half of the ...
Tower extension test a success for Webb Telescope
Jun 10, 2020 (SPX)
The primary purpose of the deployable tower is to create a large gap between the upper part of the observatory that houses its iconic gold mirrors and scientifi...
Preparations complete in Australia for construction of world's largest telescope
Jun 10, 2020 (SPX)
130,000 individual radio antennas, along with associated electronics, will be built and spread over thousands of square kilometres at CSIRO's Murchison Radio-as...
Close-up view reveals binary protostars in formation
Jun 10, 2020 (SPX)
The team led by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics used the ALMA interferometer not only to pin down the source configuration, but also to me...
Virginia Tech research provides new explanation for neutrino anomalies in Antarctica
Jun 10, 2020 (SPX)
The anomalies occurred in 2016 and 2018 and were discovered by scientists searching for ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos coming from space, all track...
Astronomers find elusive target hiding behind dust
Jun 09, 2020 (SPX)
The regions around the young protostars contain complex organic molecules that can further combine into prebiotic molecules that are the first steps on the road...
Jodrell Bank leads international effort which reveals 157 day cycle in unusual cosmic radio bursts
Jun 09, 2020 (SPX)
Using the long-term monitoring capabilities of the iconic Lovell Telescope, an international team led by Jodrell Bank astronomers has been studying an object kn...
