NEW YORK — Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about one millisecond, could shed light on one of the most mysterious cosmic phenomena ever studied. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, were first discovered in 2007, but their exact sources …

A dazzling bolt of radio light from across intergalactic space is the most powerful of its kind seen to date – and its location has been tracked with unprecedented precision. On 16 March 2025, the CHIME radio telescope in Canada recorded a one-off fast radio burst ( FRB) so powerful, astronomers initially weren’t sure about what they were looking at …

For the first time, scientists have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study the origins of a bizarre, record-breaking radio signal that flashed past Earth earlier this year. Tracking the bright radio burst to the edge of a galaxy some 130 million light-years from Earth, the researchers used JWST’s infrared eye to identify a powerful explosion of energy …

Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest flash of radio waves ever seen and have tracked this fast radio burst (FRB) back to its source. This feat could revolutionize theories surrounding these mysterious and rapid blasts of radiation that, in mere milliseconds, can emit as much energy as the sun does in its entire lifetime. First spotted in 2007, …

BOSTON — When Nathaniel Lowe was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Thursday, he knew he’d likely have to decide on his new team in short order. Once he cleared waivers and was released, he was available to all teams for the prorated portion of the major league minimum. By Sunday, he was in Boston ahead of signing a …

Though college football is undergoing constant change with the transfer portal, NIL and conference realignment, the collection of talent in the sport has never been better. Player development and retention has given us a top tier of stars that are, in some cases, already good enough to be playing on Sundays but instead are using their talents to power wins …

Although the Perseid meteor shower peaked late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, stargazers can still catch a glimpse of the meteors until Aug. 23. The Perseid shower, which has been active since July 17, is “considered the best meteor shower of the year,” according to NASA. At its peak, viewers could see up to 100 streaks every hour, which …
