Astronomers have spotted something strange and spectacular: a mysterious object that keeps emitting pulses every 44 minutes. In a press release from Australia's Curtin University, which was part of the international team that detected the object just 15,000 light-years away in our Milky Way galaxy, astronomers explained that the find was all the more stunning because the signal is coming in the form of both X-rays and radio waves. The object, which was named ASKAP J1832-0911 after Australia's

What just happened? An international team of researchers have discovered a cosmic anomaly unlike anything previously witnessed. The object in question, located roughly 15,000 light-years away in our very own Milky Way galaxy, has been observed emitting both radio waves and X-ray radiation. The celestial body, dubbed ASKAP J1832- 0911, was initially found by astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), a radio telescope located in Australia.

Through the looking glass: Astronomers have uncovered a planetary system that challenges long-held beliefs about where planets can exist. This discovery suggests the universe may hold far more surprising and diverse worlds than previously thought. As observational technology improves, more of these extraordinary systems could soon come to light. Astronomers have discovered a remarkable planetary system that challenges long-held assumptions about where planets can survive. Known as ν (nu) Octant

Today, in questions you didn't know you needed the answer to: Is there such a thing as a perfect ball? And if there were, would it contain the secrets of the universe? To wit, a spherical object lurking in our galaxy is so perfectly round that astronomers can't explain how it was formed. Dubbed "Teleios" after the Greek word for "perfect," the object is what's known as a supernova remnant (SNR), a glowing cloud of hot gases and other material left behind after a massive star dies in a powerful

For over a century, astronomers have wondered if there's an extra planet in our Solar System that we haven't been able to detect yet. It seems like we get another "Planet Nine" candidate — formerly known as Planet X, before Pluto was demoted — every few years, and none have been confirmed. But the possibility has never quite been put to bed, either. Now, an international team of researchers have made a new detection that they say could be a sign of a hidden world — by, poetically, unearthing wh

The Perseus cluster is a vast swirl of thousands of galaxies, all bound together by gravity. Famed for its unbelievable size — containing the mass of some 600 trillion suns — it also has a reputation for being one of the few "relaxed" galaxy clusters out there: it shows no signs of having undergone a powerful but disruptive merger with another galaxy, which is how these clusters typically grow. In a word, Perseus looks settled down and pretty stable. But that may not be the case, according to a

Scientists have found the most compelling evidence to date of extraterrestrial life — and apparently the discovery was a lot to process, even for the researchers behind the finding. As NPR reports, Cambridge University astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan described the human impact of finding, along with his fellow researchers, strong biosignatures — possible signs of life, basically — when pointing the James Webb Space Telescope at the exoplanet K2-18b. "This is a question humanity has been asking fo

Decades of data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope has given an international team of astronomers fresh insight into what’s going on with Uranus. A new analysis, published in Nature Astronomy, calculates the spin of one of our solar system’s most understudied planets with unprecedented precision. A human-made object has visited the seventh planet from the Sun just once. On January 24, 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft conducted a flyby, gathering some of the most comprehensive data scienti

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 entire "low surface brightness universe" teeming with circular curiosities, according to a team of researchers from Australia — including an entirely new class of cosmic object. "It's comprised of radio sources so faint they have never been seen before, each with their own unique physical propert
