Radio astronomers see what the naked eye can't. As we study the sky with telescopes that record radio signals rather than light, we end up seeing a lot of circles. The newest generation of radio ...

The vast realm probed by radio astronomers is one invisible to the naked eye, and even most kinds of telescopes. Now, thanks to the latest advances in radio observatories, scientists are uncovering an ...

Our own planet represents a tiny fraction of the peculiar phenomena that can be found lurking throughout the cosmos, and ...

A mysterious object found deep in the cosmos could soon have astronomers rethinking what they know about dark matter. That's according to a team of researchers who turned to a global network of ...

The mysterious objects might be early galaxies that could alter the understanding of the early universe. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is helping scientists make discoveries that could alter ...

With the aid of a multinational network of radio telescopes, scientists have been able to detect the lowest-mass dark object ever found in the universe. The mysterious object, roughly one million ...

Imagine a universe that barely exists—just fractions of a second old, too young to look anything like the cosmos we know ...

Using a worldwide network of radio telescopes including the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, astronomers have discovered a mysterious object in the distant universe. A million times the mass of ...

Dark matter is believed to make up more than 80 percent of all matter in the universe, but what it actually is remains a mystery. Now, astronomers have found something that gives us a major clue. This ...

Stars are the original nuclear fusion reactors. As it evolves, a star continuously fuses hydrogen, helium, and—if it becomes big enough—heavier elements, releasing the energy created into space as ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...
