The Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS) project is designed to seek and amplify strangely pulsed radio emission from the galactic center that may be messages from extraterrestrial intelligences.
A survey of the galaxy has revealed hundreds of mysterious cosmic threads pointing towards the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. The filaments stretch five to ten light years through space.
This plume is larger than any previously observed on the moon and may contain the necessary chemicals for life coming from below its icy surface.
Astronomers studying black holes have serendipitously found another rarity: a dead star rocketing away from its birth supernova, leaving a comet-like trail of radio emission in its wake.
The cyclone on Uranus, compactly shaped with warm and dry air at its core, is much like those spotted at Saturn. Now,cyclones have been identified at the poles on every planet in our solar system except for Mercury.
The belt was discovered around a brown dwarf known as LSR J1835+3259 and is 10 million times more intense than Jupiter's.
While our census of hazardous NEOs is not nearly complete, we do have reliable maps of nearly all of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than a kilometer (0.6 mile) across.
New discoveries by a team of astronomers added 62 new moons to Saturn’s existing 83, bringing its total to 145. Therefore, Saturn is the first planet known to have more than 100 moons.
The explosive event labeled AT2021lwx was observed to be ten times brighter than any known supernova. This thing we have never, ever seen before – it just came out of nowhere.
In a new research scientists observed a repeating fast radio burst for more than a year and discovered signs it is surrounded by a strong but highly changeable magnetic field.
There’s a celestial body in the galaxy messier 82also known as the Cigar Galaxywhich emits 10 million times more light than the Sun. According to the laws of Physics,this is only possible if the body is about to explode.
Scientists have observed a star swallowing a planet for the first time. Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years.
For the first time ever, we were able to identify the chemical traces of the explosions of the first stars in very distant gas clouds.
A recent adjustment, in which the probe redirects a tiny amount of power meant for an onboard safety system, means all five scientific instruments aboard Voyager 2 can stay active until 2026, according to a NASA.
In new research, a Canadian-led team of astronomers turned up another 25 repeating FRBs, doubling the number already discovered.
