Projects under NASA’s CLPS program will probe unexplored questions about the universe’s formation.
Previous searches for extraterrestrial life have included only the radio band above 600 MHz, leaving lower frequencies virtually unexplored.
Astronomers have for the first time detected the background hum of gravitational waves likely caused by merging black holes.
The accumulated radio emission from mobile phones on Earth is beginning to become quite significant.
Astronomers have long known where water is first formed in the universe and how it ends up on planets, asteroids and comets. A recent discovery has finally answered what happens in between.
Many telescopes use the radio spectrum to learn about the cosmos. Just as human development leads to more light pollution, increasing numbers of satellites are leading to more radio interference.
Can artificial intelligence transform the search for alien intelligence?
The technology of an advanced alien civilization is likely to produce many signs that could be detected across the vastness of space. Two astronomers explain the search for technosignatures.
Astronomers studying fast radio bursts recently discovered one that repeats, has a persistent radio signal and originated in a galaxy much closer than it should have.
