Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has ...

For the first time, astronomers have imaged dozens of belts around nearby stars where comets and tiny pebbles within them are ...

Using in part the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, astronomers have characterized the largest ever early-universe radio jet.

Astronomers have discovered a massive, double-lobed radio jet stretching 200,000 light-years from a quasar that existed when ...

To “image” a part of the sky in additional detail, multiple overlapping scans may be recorded and pieced along in a very mosaic image. The sort of instrument used depends on the strength of the signal ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, ...

Radio telescopes focus and amplify radio light waves and make that data available for analysis. “Physically, it’s all electromagnetic radiation, but the radio part shows us a kind of ...

A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought could produce such a signal.

These jets can be detected with radio telescopes up to large distances ... one half of the International Gemini Observatory, funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and ...
