The James Webb Space Telescope imaged galaxy NGC 4141, where astronomers traced the precise origin of a recent fast radio burst and its potential red giant companion, annotated in the inset as NIR-1.

(CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, ...

Pulsars, the rapidly rotating neutron stars discovered over half a century ago, offer profound insights into extreme physics, including strong gravity and the behaviour of matter under extraordinary ...

Astronomers have just caught the brightest fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded, and it has been given a nickname worthy of its power: RBFLOAT, short for “Radio Brightest Flash Of All Time.” The ...

With their extremely strong magnetic fields, magnetars have long been considered the prime culprit capable of producing the powerful bursts of energy known as fast radio bursts. The recent burst, ...
