Scientists have come to understand the causes of a strange explosion of radio waves from space, which NASA X-ray telescopes recorded in 2022. New article in the magazine Nature offers an explanation for fast radio bursts, which can release as much energy in a fraction of a second as the Sun releases in an entire … Read more
Astronomers discovered the most distant burst of cosmic radio waves occurred in less than a millisecond! We know this explosion by name Fast Radio Burst (FRB) or Fast Radio Burst because it takes place very quickly, only in the range of one millisecond to three seconds! Illustration of the Fast Radio Burst FRB 20220610A from … Read more
These bright powerful streams of energy remain largely a mystery to astronomers, but something is still known about them. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are strong radio pulses that carry as much energy as the Sun emits in three days. But FRBs radiate this energy in just a fraction of a second. What is known and … Read more
The binary star HD 45166 includes a peculiar Wolf-Rayet star, which is unusual even by the standards of this group of extreme stars. It dramatically spews matter into the surrounding space and at the same time is gripped by a magnetic field with an induction of 43 thousand gauss, which makes it a magnetic record … Read more
