Giant storms on the ringed planet can leave patches of ammonia trapped in the lower atmosphere for centuries, a recent study suggests.

LIGO confirmed the existence of gravitational waves in 2015, detecting one-time perturbations of spacetime from the merger of large black holes. There should be a background of gravitational waves permeating space due to other cataclysmic events in the cosmos, perhaps dating from the Big Bang. The NANOGrav consortium reports evidence from pulsar timing arrays that space is filled with such waves. Simulations suggest the cosmic gravitational wave background is likely caused by the merger of hundr...

Satellites are posing serious concerns for radio astronomers.

Plans are underway for what's called the Next Generation VLA, or ngVLA. The antennas will have a new design and there will be 263 of them instead of 27.

Scientists have discovered an object, GPM J1839−10, which sends out pulses every 22 minutes. The thing is, it shouldn't be able to do that at all.

Book one of these trips to the path of totality next April in the U.S.—before it’s too late.

More than two dozen researchers with ties to West Virginia University have helped unearth evidence of ripples in spacetime that have never been observed before now.

Believed to be coming from 15,000 light years away, the signal has been occurring at intervals and for a period of time thought to be impossible.

Researchers have discovered a new stellar object, potentially an ultra-long period magnetar, that challenges existing understanding of neutron stars. Emitting radio waves every 22 minutes, the longest period ever recorded, this object defies current theories but offers promising insights into neutro
