From decades of astronomical observations, scientists know that most galaxies contain massive black holes at their centers.

The giant jet flips the script on the origins of these structures, which were once thought to be linked only to extremely ...

The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space ...

An upgrade to one of Australia's most capable radio telescopes is allowing astronomers to hunt for fast radio bursts (FRBs) ...

Based on what scientists thought they knew about fast radio bursts, referred to in astronomy as FRBs, this type of galaxy should not contain the kind of star long thought to produce such bursts.

"For such a faint and unknown target, we were not sure if we would get any data at all — but the strategy worked." Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies ...

The discovery has been published in Nature Astronomy. The researchers believe ASKAP J1839-075, is a "pulsar", a high-energy neutron star that releases short bursts of radio waves. But conventional ...

It makes sense not just for a superpower to protect its antennas from the elements, and [saveitforparts] is doing the same with a geodesic dome for his radio telescope experiments. But what effect ...

This discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, pushes the boundaries of what we thought possible. Our slow lighthouse also happens to be aligned with Earth in a way that lets us see radio pulses ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen, with features appearing like grains and knots found in a cut of wood. "Once upon a time ...
