Astronomers have detected the first-ever "radio signal" coming from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, right as it passed the halfway mark on its oneway trip through the solar system. And while this may ...

Astronomers may have been listening for alien civilizations in only a small slice of the radio spectrum while overlooking a largely unexplored range of higher frequencies. Using archived data from the ...

Most alien-signal searches listen to a narrow part of the radio spectrum, but astronomers are now testing higher frequencies that have barely been explored. A first search using archived ALMA ...

Yet the key insight lies not in what was found, but in what the analysis revealed about the scale of previous searches.

K2-18b is one of the most promising worlds for the search for extraterrestrial life, so astronomers conducted an unusually powerful radio survey using both the VLA and MeerKAT telescopes. Advanced ...

Astronomers using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have identified some of the clearest evidence yet ...
