Unprecedented Cosmic Explosion Discovered: Could This Be The Greatest Space Mystery Ever?
A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It offers new insights into astrophysics.

Scientists Find the Origin of a Mysterious Fast Radio Burst With a Unique Technique
Researchers have pinpointed the origin of fast radio burst FRB 20221022A to within 10,000 kilometres of a neutron star. Using scintillation analysis, a team from MIT determined that the burst emerged from the magnetosphere, a highly magnetic and chaotic environment surrounding the star. This discovery marks the first conclusive evidence of FRBs ori...

Asteroids Impacting Neutron Stars May Be the Cause of Fast Radio Bursts
Research suggests asteroid impacts on neutron stars may be the cause of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs). These collisions release enormous energy and match observed FRB frequency. Scientists believe interstellar objects colliding with neutron stars could account for their rate and occurrence, while repeating FRBs may stem from asteroid belts. O...

Astronomers Pinpoint Origin Of Mysterious Repeating Radio Bursts From Space
Slowly repeating bursts of intense radio waves from space have puzzled astronomers since they were discovered in 2022.

Mysterious Radio Signals from Deep Space Reportedly Reached Earth After Eight Billion Years
Astronomers recently detected an extraordinary event – a deep space radio signal that took 8 billion years to reach Earth. The radio burst, named FRB 20220610A, is one of the most powerful and distant signals ever captured. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) like this are brief but incredibly strong, leaving scientists questioning their origins.

NASA Astronaut Captures Mysterious 'Red Sprites' Glowing In Earth's Atmosphere
Red sprites are colourful bursts of energy that appear above storms as a result of lightning activity occurring in and below storms on Earth.

Solved Mystery Of Ultra-Bright Explosion Creates Bigger Puzzles: Report
Researchers now assert that the burst of light observed in 2022 originated from an exploding star at its core.

Astronomers Reveal Origins Of Universe's Farthest And Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst
By utilizing images captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, scientists followed the path of the FRB and discovered that it didn't originate from a single galaxy but rather from a cluster of at least seven galaxies.
-
Never-Before-Seen Anomaly Found In Fast Radio Bursts, Say Astronomers
Astronomers think at least some FRBs are generated by a type of neutron star known as a magnetar.

Mysterious Radio Waves Hit Earth After Travelling 8 Billion Years
Astronomers have detected an intense flash of radio waves coming from what looks like a merger of galaxies dating to about 8 billion years ago - the oldest-known instance of a phenomenon called a fast radio burst that continues to defy explanation.

Eight New Echoing Black Hole Binaries Discovered in Our Galaxy: MIT Researchers
Black holes are intriguing and mysterious objects. They are dreaded, too, because their gravitational pull is so strong that they do not allow anything to pass through them, not even light, except on the rare occasions when they feed. When a black hole pulls in gas and dust from an orbiting star, it sends out spectacular bursts of X-ray that bounce...

Stars Need a Partner to Create Universe's Brightest Explosions, Study Claims
The new research solves the mystery of how stars spin fast enough to create conditions to launch a jet of highly energetic material into space and has found that tidal effects like those between the Moon and the Earth are the answer.
