Understanding how the universe transitioned from darkness to light with the formation of the first stars and galaxies is a key turning point in the universe's development, known as the Cosmic Dawn.
A gigantic array of radio dishes proposed for the Utah desert could advance our understanding of physics and help us decode ...
The Allen Telescope Array is the first implementation of a large-N, small-D radio telescope. It is a promising candidate for at least a portion of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). The ATA is a ...
A NASA satellite that’s been orbiting as space junk since 1967, Relay 2, emitted an unexpected, powerful radio burst that ...
This is the first time an object in its class has been detected in X-rays. The discovery could lead to a better understanding ...
A NASA-funded plan to build a large radio telescope on the moon's far side is nearing final approval and could become a reality by the 2030s, researchers say. The ambitious project will help safeguard ...
SKA-Low will be the first radio telescope capable of imaging this very early period of our universe. It will also help map the large-scale structure of the universe. We expect the telescope will also ...
However, radio telescopes have helped astronomers intercept these cosmic flashes, including the one observed last June. Named FRB 20220610A, it was found to have released as much energy as the sun ...
NASA’s ROLSES-1 (Radio wave Observations at the Lunar Surface of the photoElectron Sheath) telescope was mounted on the Odysseus lander, an Intuitive Machines spacecraft that made the first ever ...
Using 1,024 of what will eventually be 131,072 radio antennas, the first SKA-Low image shows a tiny sliver of sky dotted with ancient galaxies billions of light-years from Earth.
From its sites in South Africa and Australia, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory last year achieved “first light” – producing its first-ever images. When its planned 197 dishes and 131,072 ...
