Last year, astronomers detected a powerful burst of radio waves from within our galaxy. Researchers now say it came from NASA's defunct Relay 2 satellite — but they're not sure what caused it.
The first test images from a groundbreaking observatory named for trailblazing astronomer Vera Rubin have captured the light from millions of distant stars and galaxies on an unprecedented scale and ...
They correlated the radio signals with X-ray pulses detected by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, which was coincidentally observing the same part of the sky.
The mystery object, located just a short 15,000 light-years from Earth in our Milky Way galaxy, was spotted emitting unusual pulses.
Astronomers have made a startling discovery about a new type of cosmic phenomenon.
