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.

Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, could ...

Astronomers detect a fast radio burst from 10 billion years ago, FRB 20240304B, revealing clues about the early universe.

It’s been nearly 50 years since astronomers detected the most famous space signal we’ve ever received—a 72-second radio burst that lit up a printout at Ohio State’s Big Ear radio telescope in 1977.

"This result marks a turning point: instead of just detecting these mysterious flashes, we can now see exactly where they're coming from." Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest flash ...

Astronomers hunting for evidence of the light from the first stars and galaxies have found that the universe was warm, rather than cold, before it "lit up." ...

Scientists have traced the brightest known fast radio burst to its origin in space, a milestone achievement they hope will provide clues about what's driving these mysterious cosmic flashes. The ...
