Researchers at the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have made a record-setting discovery while uncovering clues to a rare cosmic phenomenon known as long-period radio transients. Associate Professor Natasha Hurley-Walker, alongside then-undergraduate Csanad Horvath, identified a unique energy pulse while analyzing archival data from th

The elusive solar corona, a faint, ultra-hot layer of the Sun, has intrigued scientists for centuries. This region, responsible for solar winds and storms, is usually obscured by the Sun's intense light. While natural solar eclipses or specially designed instruments have provided glimpses, ESA's Proba-3 mission is poised to offer unprecedented access through advanced technology. Proba-3, c

While NASA's NEOWISE telescope ended its journey through space on Nov. 1, 2024, the team at IPAC, a science center at Caltech, was working on one further gift from the prolific mission. The final data release from NEOWISE was released to the astronomy community just two weeks later, on Nov. 14, encompassing over 26 million images and nearly 200 billion sources detected by the telescope.

A Neptune-sized planet, TOI-3261 b, makes a scorchingly close orbit around its host star. Only the fourth object of its kind ever found, the planet could reveal clues as to how planets such as these form. An international team of scientists used the NASA space telescope, TESS (the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), to discover the exoplanet (a planet outside our solar system), then ma

A new study led by Sofia Sheikh of the SETI Institute has revealed how pulsar signals - emissions from the spinning remnants of massive stars - are distorted as they traverse the interstellar medium (ISM). The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal, were developed through contributions from undergraduate researchers in Penn State's Pulsar Search Collaboratory, a student program origina
