Astronomers are announcing today that a sequence of images collected with the Smithsonian’s Submillimeter Array (SMA) radio telescope system clearly reveals the presence of a rotating, molecular disk ...

In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period transients. These objects emit bright radio signals that repeat every few minutes ...

A lunar radio telescope has been proposed many times before. Usually the idea is to locate it on the lunar far side so it will be hidden from all the radio noise from Earth. In this new work, the ...

In 1988, radio telescopes picked up a transient signal from 15,000 light-years away within the constellation Scutum. But it remained unnoticed for three decades. Fast-forward to today: Astrophysicists ...
