A recent survey conducted by the Arecibo Observatory detected a strange radio signal coming from Ross 128, a star system just 11 light-year from Earth.
The plane of the solar system is warped in the outer reaches of the Kuiper Belt, signaling the presence of an unknown Mars-to-Earth-mass planetary object far beyond Pluto, according to a new research.
Tabby's star is dipping drastically in brightness, giving astronomers an opportunity to figure out what has been causing this star's weird behavior.
A supervoid is unlikely to explain a ‘Cold Spot’ in the cosmic microwave background, leaving room for exotic explanations like a collision between universes.
A mysterious flash of X-rays has been discovered by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in the deepest X-ray image ever obtained. This source likely comes from some sort of destructive event, but may be of a variety that scientists have never seen before.
Australian researchers have detected three of Fast Radio Bursts in just six months using MOST telescope in Canberra, Australia. In doing so, they were able to confirm that these FRBs really do come from outer space.
Newly published research suggests that mysterious phenomena called fast radio bursts could be evidence of advanced alien technology. Specifically, these bursts might be leakage from planet-sized transmitters powering interstellar probes in distant galaxies.
The new results support evidence of a strange symmetry in measurements of one neutrino mass. In particle physics, symmetries often indicate underlying physics that scientists haven't yet unearthed.
Fast radio bursts, powerful pulses of radio energy of unknown cosmic origin, are a source of endless fascination to astronomers and alien conspiracy theory fodder to everybody else. Last year astronomers discovered the very first FRB signal that repeats and now they've pinpointed its location.
The NASA mission is getting unprecedented views of the ringed gas giant's biggest mystery
Tabby’s star has provoked so much excitement over the past year that UC Berkeley’s Breakthrough Listen project is devoting hours of time on the Green Bank radio telescope to see if it can detect any signals from intelligent extraterrestrials.
The X-ray emissions were discovered by chance beyond the Milky Way and no one really knows what is causing them.
A star with the unassuming name of KIC 8462852 in the constellation Cygnus has been raising eyebrows both in and outside of the scientific community for the past year.
To find out what's going on around the weirdest star in the galaxy, astronomers are turning to crowdfunding.
