Japanese astronomers are eagerly awaiting a reply from aliens after sending a message into space 40 years ago. The 40-year-old message: On Aug. 15, 1983, astronomers Masaki Morimoto and Hisashi Hirabayashi at Stanford University sent a message into space as part of a project celebrating the 15th anniversary of the weekly comic anthology Shonen Jump. The message, which contained 13 drawings depicting the history of life on Earth and the structure of our DNA, was transcribed into radio waves and transmitted toward a star called Altair with the intention of receiving a reply.

Radio data has also allowed planetary scientists to measure Mars' rotation rate and learn more about the world's over-sized, molten core.

NASA plans on testing an innovative new way to communicate with deep space probes, and step one depends on the success of the Psyche mission.

The signal is thought to come from a dying star emitting energy from its poles. But it's spinning too slowly to exist, say astronomers.

Ultra Slow Pulsar Over many years, astronomers have been observing pulsars, highly magnetized neutron stars, rotating and sending out beacons of light much like a lighthouse. These repeating radio signals, energetic beams of light, are detected back here on Earth as powerful and surprisingly regular blips. That is until they slow down and die as […]
