Astronomers pinpoint the origin of mysterious repeating radio bursts from space
Slowly repeating bursts of intense radio waves from space have puzzled astronomers since they were discovered in 2022.
Astronomers tell how they tracked mystery space radio bursts to a star – not aliens
Three years ago, scientists recorded a mysterious repeating radio signal from outer space that couldn't easily be explained ... Tyrone O'Doherty spotted an unusual burst of radio waves that repeated every 18 minutes. Repeating radio signals aren't that ...
Mysterious fast radio bursts could be caused by asteroids slamming into dead stars
An asteroid hitting a neutron star could release enough energy to power humanity for 100 million years, more than enough to explain fast radio bursts!
Astronomers discover source of mysterious radio signals from space after two years of searching
New research has revealed the source of repeated radio signals emulating from space, first picked up two years ago. In 2022, a team of astronomers picked up on intense bursts of radio waves repeatedly emitting from space, however, they remained baffled as to where it was coming from and what was causing it.
Exploding interstellar space rocks could explain mystery radio flashes
Enigmatic phenomena called fast radio bursts might be caused by interstellar objects colliding with highly magnetised neutron stars
Mysterious Radio Signals Lead Astronomers to an Unlikely Cosmic Pair
Astronomers pinpointed the source of the signal to a low mass star, but it can't generate that much energy on its own.
Mystery of repeating radio waves solved, scientists trace origin of slow radio pulses
Astronomers have pinpointed the source of slow, repeating radio bursts from space to a red dwarf star likely orbiting a white dwarf. These unusual signals, discovered in 2022, challenge existing theories about how pulsars emit radio waves and stem from interactions between the red dwarf's stellar wind and the white dwarf's magnetic field.
Astronomers Track Mysterious Radio Pulses to Binary Star System
These signals were first noticed by the team from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in 2022 in archival data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope (above). The signals had been appearing for at least the ten years MWA was active and possibly much longer.
Astronomers Track Down Source Of Mysterious Radio Signals From Space
The energy pulse, which occurs every three hours and lasts only 30-60 seconds, is the longest-period radio transient ever detected.
Scientists Believe Aliens Are Sending Interstellar Messages to Each Other—And We Can Eavesdrop on Them
Since the first modern SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) studies tried to detect alien transmissions in the ...
