Louise Minchin and Jon Kay returned to BBC Breakfast this morning to share a heartwarming Christmas message with viewers from a care home in Somerset. The staff had locked themselves away in the care home for three months during the pandemic to keep those that live there safe, and the touching tribute residents’ families paid […]

Astronomers detect more mystery radio bursts from beyond the Milky Way
Sure enough, astronomers have discovered even more of those mysterious fast radio bursts from outside the Milky Way galaxy. Scientists using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope have detected 13 different radio bursts, including six repeat bursts from the same location in a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away. Each of those bursts […]

How to live longer: Hour of exercise in short bursts slashes premature death risk
JUST an hour of exercise in short bursts throughout the day can slash your risk of dying prematurely by 57 per cent, a new study found.
Fast radio bursts: What are these ‘insanely powerful,’ unexplained signals from space?
March has been a landmark month for fast radio bursts with three of the unexplained signals from outer space picked up by satellites, including the strongest one ever recorded. But what’s really behind the mysterious phenomena? The bizarre blasts can emit as much power as 500 million suns but they last only a few milliseconds […]

Scientists trace mysterious cosmic radio bursts to likely source
A discovery by an international group of astronomers has brought scientists one step closer to identifying the source of the mysterious fast radio burst emanating from the cosmos. The repeating burst, known as FRB 121102, was first detected by researchers in 2012. Last year, it was found to be coming from a star-forming dwarf galaxy […]
Ultra-Powerful Radio Bursts May Be Getting a Cosmic Boost
Repeating radio bursts are among the most mysterious phenomena in the universe. A new theory explores how some of their puzzling properties can be explained by galactic lenses made of plasma. https://media.wired.com/photos/59e0f323a0b0671c7f57e859/master/pass/VLA_1300Lede.jpg Feed: All Latest
