Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast radio ...

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 much ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief emissions of radio waves, lasting a fraction of a second but with as much energy as the ...

Investigating the enigmatic origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has taken a surprising turn. These millisecond-long radio ...

In February 2024, scientists on Earth detected a powerful radio blast from outer space. Seeking to discover where it had come ...

Astronomers have traced a mysterious fast radio burst to an unexpected place — an ancient, massive galaxy far removed from ...

Large stars have cosmically short lifetimes, so the fact that this FRB occurred in an old, long-dead galaxy means that the ...

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. FILE - This image provided by ...
