We've received a strange signal from across the galaxy, and astronomers are struggling to understand what it means.
They know what's emitting the signals. It's a  neutron star named ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0 (ASKAP J1935+2148 for short), located in the plane of the Milky Way, some 15,820 light-years from Earth.



					
			

But the signals themselves are like none we've ever seen before. The star goes through periods of strong pulses, periods of weak pulses, and periods of no pulses at all.
What we don't know, according to a team led by astrophysicist Manisha Caleb of the University of Sydney in Australia, is why. The strange object...

Strange Radio Signal From Deep Space Baffles Scientists

Researchers using global robotic telescopes discovered an Earth-sized planet, SPECULOOS-3 b, orbiting an ultra-cool red dwarf within the Milky Way. This planet, tidally locked and likely lacking an atmosphere due to intense radiation, offers new insights into long-lived red dwarfs, which are anticipated to be among the last stars burning in the universe.

New Earth-Sized Planet Discovered Orbiting a Star That Will Live 100 Billion Years

The comet known as Pons-Brooks or the “Devil Comet” will make its closest approach to Earth on Sunday, June 2, 2024. Some have reported seeing part of the comet early today, June 3, 2024. This celestial event occurs only once every 71 years, making it a rare opportunity for astronomers and space enthusiasts to observe the comet. Pons-Brooks is one of the brightest periodic comets in our solar system.

We all know people with a ‘sixth sense’ who seem to be just a little more in tune with the world than everyone else. Do you know which zodiac signs they probably are? We can’t be sure, but we’ll share the three signs most likely to have that bonus sense. Having six senses can be a burden and a blessing, and you just may find if you are one of these three signs that some things in your life can be explained by having an extra sense.

3 Zodiac Signs Who Have A Great Sixth Sense

The Moon passes 0.3° north of Neptune at 5 A.M. EDT. Roughly half a day later, at 5:53 P.M. EDT, the Moon reaches Last Quarter as it slowly wanes from Full to New. We’ll catch up with Neptune in the morning sky later this week. Tonight, with no Moon to interfere, let’s visit the constellation Cygnus, high in the east a few hours after sunset, to check out the North America Nebula, also cataloged as NGC 7000.

The newly discovered twins both emit jets of gas from their north and south poles and are among a group of stars called WL 20.

NASA says star studied for decades is actually this: 'Our jaws dropped'

Researchers have discovered three mysterious objects in the early universe that are challenging our understanding of galaxy formation and supermassive black holes. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, an international team led by Dr. Bing Wang and Dr. Joel Leja from Penn State University found these tiny galaxies, only a few hundred light years across, containing billions of stars and massive black holes. The objects are perplexing because they appear to have formed in a way that defies our current understanding of the universe’s early days.

This planet is orbiting a small star approximately 40 light-years away. Two teams of scientists discovered a potentially habitable planet orbiting a small star approximately 40 light-years away. The exoplanet is called Gliese 12b, and its size is a bit smaller than Earth but larger than Venus. Orbiting a cool...

Scientists Have Found an Earth-Sized Planet that’s Potentially Habitable

From "runaway" black holes shooting across the cosmos to secret planets in our own backyard, space is overrun with mysterious objects that scientists are clamoring to explain. Here are five of the strangest sights in the universe, as well as their possible origins.

5 space discoveries that scientists are struggling to explain

Two million years ago, an encounter with a cold cloud of gas and dust could have caused our planet's "protective giant bubble" to draw back, potentially cooling our planet, new research claims.

Astronomers using the Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona have taken a close-up picture of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io that rivals similar photos taken from space.

There are certain zodiac signs that most people are careful with because of their fiery and low tolerance levels. You can hardly mess with individuals with such signs without getting a backlash. Whether they are in work environments or family settings, they do not hesitate to set boundaries and protect them.

Two large asteroids are set to safely pass by Earth this week, arriving just before Asteroid Day on June 30, according to a new report from the European Space Agency (ESA). Although neither poses any danger to our planet, one of the asteroids was discovered only a week ago, underscoring the importance of enhancing our ability to detect potentially hazardous objects in the vicinity of our planet.

The Sun is the center of the universe, and all planets revolve around it, right? Well, not exactly. When people think of the solar system, they usually picture the Sun at the center with Earth and the other planets orbiting it. However, the reality is more complex, reports IFLScience. Surprisingly, even the moon doesn't orbit the Earth. So, what really goes on in our solar system?

Turns out the Earth and other planets technically don't always orbit around the Sun's center

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A recent discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) confirmed that luminous, very red objects previously detected in the early universe upend conventional thinking about the origins and evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes.
