Flip-flopping magnetic fields hint at a solution for puzzling fast radio bursts from space
Fast radio bursts—intense, milliseconds-long flashes of radio energy from outer space—have puzzled astronomers since they were first spotted in 2007. A single burst can emit as much energy in its brief life as the Sun does in a few days......»»
Even if there"s life on TRAPPIST-1, we probably can"t detect it
If we ever find life on other worlds, it is unlikely to be a powerful message from space. It's certainly possible that an alien civilization specifically sends us a radio message like a scene out of Contact, but the more likely scenario is that we ob.....»»

PSR J0901-4046 is the most magnetized radio pulsar known, study finds
Astronomers have investigated an ultraslow radio pulsar known as PSR J0901-4046, finding that it has an extremely high magnetic field—at a level of 30 quadrillion Gauss. The discovery, published April 7 in Physical Review D, makes PSR J0901-4046 th.....»»
How different were galaxies in the early universe?
An array of 350 radio telescopes in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting the "cosmic dawn"—the era after the Big Bang when stars first ignited and galaxies began to bloom......»»
Astronomers discover fast radio bursts that skewer nearby galaxy
After upgrading the radio telescope array at Westerbork, The Netherlands, astronomers have found five new fast radio bursts. The telescope images, much sharper than previously possible, revealed that multiple bursts had pierced our neighboring Triang.....»»
