Radio Telescope

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...

Scientists at Penn State and the SETI Institute have developed a new method to search for interplanetary radio signals from planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. Using the Allen Telescope Array, they scanned this system for nearly 28 hours but did not find evidence of alien communication. This project, however, has introduced a new way of detecting pot...

Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are causing significant disruption for astronomers worldwide. Scientists from the Netherlands, particularly the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON), have reported that the growing network of Starlink satellites is interfering with radio waves used for vital space research. The satellites, designed to p...

Dutch scientists from ASTRON are raising concerns about the second-generation Starlink satellites, claiming they cause significant interference with radio telescopes.

Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) recently conducted a search of more than 1,300 galaxies for signs of alien life using unexplored low radio frequencies. The search was reportedly performed using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a radio telescope located in the Australian outback. This effort targeted radio frequencies in the 80...

James Webb Space Telescope images have uncovered an unexpected dust formation around a supermassive black hole, showing that gas collisions, not black hole radiation, heat the dust. This breakthrough by Newcastle University’s team challenges existing theories and offers new perspectives on galaxy evolution.

The GMRT, located near Pune, India, played a crucial role in this discovery. This powerful telescope surveyed the radio sky at a low frequency, making it ideal for detecting these faint, distant objects.

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.

NASA has unveiled images of what it claims to be the most potent solar flare in six years.

UK Research and Innovation has embarked on a collaboration with India's Department of Atomic Energy to explore opportunities to set up super computing facilities to process data from the observations made by the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope

With the Pune-Nashik High-Speed Rail project getting in-principle approval of the Centre, researchers at the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in Pune have expressed concern over likely disruption of the scientific facility operations.

Hailed as one of the biggest scientific projects of this century, the telescopes will enable scientists to look back to early in the history of the universe when the first stars and galaxies were formed.

India's SARAS radio telescope has helped scientists determine the properties of the earliest radio luminous galaxies formed 200 million years after the Big Bang, a period known as the Cosmic Dawn.

In s new study, researchers have tried to unravel what the signal from aJupiter-like planet be like. They have developed a model of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and applied it to a planetary system called HD 189733. They have simulated the interaction between the star's stellar wind and the planet's magnetic field and performed calculations around th...

A new project by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) aim sat peering into the most elusive galaxies in the universe. This is likely to help astronomers paint a clearer and more comprehensive picture of the universe's history of star formation. The instrument will also help detect those galaxies that are too dim and are obscured by cosm...
