A dead galaxy shouldn't produce bursts of radio light. Yet this 11 billion-year-old one did — throwing scientists for a loop.

The Delta Air Lines jet came down fast, landing so hard that it lost its right wing, then burst into flames on a runway in Toronto. The aircraft slid to a stop, upside down, a trail of black smoke in ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers have investigated the emission properties of three long-period pulsars. Results of the observational campaign are ...

Astronomers have pinpointed an FRB outside a dead galaxy for the first time, challenging existing models that link FRBs to ...

The discovery supports the idea that there are more ways to produce such flares, called fast radio bursts, than originally thought. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are millisecond-long eruptions of ...

Astronomers have detected a repeating radio signal, captured multiple times, originating from an ancient and inactive galaxy. This discovery challenges current theories about the origin of fast ...
