International scientists, including an Australian, say they’ve found evidence of the highest-energy neutrino detected to date. The result suggests the particle came from beyond our Milky Way, they say, although its precise origin remains mysterious.
Distant neutron stars typically spin a full 360 degrees within seconds. However, a new type of ‘radio transient object’ – so called as they are detected in radio waves – has emerged that rotate much more slowly. In the time it takes this cosmic lighthouse to rotate you could watch Interstellar twice before it completes a full spin.
An international study led by Australian astronomers has created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date in three new research papers. The study also produced the largest ever galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and found further evidence of a “background” of these invisible yet incredibly fast ripples in space that can help unlock some major mysteries of the universe.
Researchers from the Curtin node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research say they have made a record-breaking astrophysical discovery while simultaneously uncovering a possible explanation for the rare and extreme event known as long-period radio transients.
A shroud of gas stretches up to a million light years around every galaxy and is its first interaction with the wider Universe beyond.
Captured by cutting-edge radio telescope technology, a chance reactivation of a magnetar has revealed an unexpectedly complex environment.
In May 2023, shortly after the start of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a gravitational-wave signal
Scientists may be one step closer to unlocking one of the great mysteries of the universe after calculating that neutron stars might hold a key to helping us understand elusive dark matter.

Astronauts often experience immune dysfunction, skin rashes, and other inflammatory conditions while travelling in space, and international researchers believe these issues are likely due to the overly sterile nature of the International Space Station.
Australia’s first state government funded satellite, Kanyini, has delivered its first images from space, marking
Data from NASA’s InSight mission suggest Mars has a liquid core similar to Earth’s, but European scientists say the core may be solid, at least below a certain temperature.
Scientists have successfully used lasers to identify microbe fossils in rocks from Earth, which are like the rocks found on Mars, opening up the possibility of searching for fossils on the Red Planet.
