The James Webb Space Telescope imaged galaxy NGC 4141, where astronomers traced the precise origin of a recent fast radio burst and its potential red giant companion, annotated in the inset as NIR-1. ...

Long-term observations reveal that at least some fast radio bursts are linked to magnetars orbiting companion stars.

For certain situations, older hardware is preferred or even needed to accomplish a task. This is common in industrial applications where old machinery might not be supported by modern hardware or ...

A crowd-sourced search for alien intelligence called SETI@Home is in its final stages, analyzing 100 radio signals of interest using the world's largest radio telescope.

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has yet to detect alien technosignatures like radio waves, but the cosmos is vast, and there are plenty of places left to look. New research ...

It’s not just interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS that’s been catching the attention of scientists. Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, which was first discovered in 1812 and visits the Earth roughly every 71 years, has ...

The Fermi Paradox, first devised by physicist Enrico Fermi in the 1950s, asks why we haven’t detected alien civilization yet, despite the vast universe teeming with countless potentially habitable ...

Tiny delays in pulsar signals measured by SETI scientists could aid the search for gravitational waves and extraterrestrial ...
