For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with ...

Astronomers tracking mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) stumbled upon an unexpected cosmic puzzle. A burst was detected from ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an amazing view of interacting galaxies Arp 142. Arp 142 consists of a distorted ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief emissions of radio waves, lasting a fraction of a second but with as much energy as the Sun’s over days or even longer. Several FRBs have been linked to a subclass ...

These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. Using the James Webb Space ...

Euclid’s jaw-dropping capture of the closest Einstein ring ever seen reveals the hidden forces shaping our universe — and ...

Last summer, astronomer Calvin Leung was excited to analyze data from a newly built radio telescope. His goal was to pinpoint ...

Our galaxy, while not small, isn't nearly as big as Andromeda. We harbor some 100 to 400 billion stars. One day, however, the two galaxies may collide, forming a giant, egg-shaped elliptical galaxy.

The elliptical galaxy NGC 4660 is one of a hundred galaxies imaged by Hubble that are members of the nearest large galaxy cluster to Earth, the Virgo Cluster. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has ...
