Venus has been in the news a lot since last September, when researchers announced the possible detection of phosphine, a possible life sign, in its atmosphere. On May 3, 2021, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe announced another discovery: a never-before-observed natural low-frequency radio signal in the...

SCIENTISTS have traced the origin of mysterious “alien transmissions” and their findings will be bad news for anyone who thinks extraterrestrials are trying to contact us. The source of a series of “fast radio bursts” has been shown to be a “stellar nursery” of baby neutron stars...

To date, more than 4,500 exoplanets have been discovered as scientists explore the universe to better understand it and perhaps find signs of life. Despite that, they’ve never found a radio emission emanating from any of these faraway planets. Until now. A group of researchers...

A mysterious fast radio burst (FRB) that hit Earth late last month has been detected. While this type of activity is by no means common, it is not unusual. The part that’s puzzling scientists is not the radio burst itself, but the fact that its...

A strange radio signal that seemed to emanate from a small nearby star probably came from Earth-orbiting satellites, astronomers say. Late last week, researchers announced that, on May 12, the 1,000-foot-wide (305 meters) Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico detected a bizarre radio signal in...
