SETI's 1977 "Wow!" signal from deep space was even stronger than originally thought, but its source remains a complete mystery.

A dead star located 15,000 light-years away, GPM J1839-10, has been pulsing every 22 minutes for decades, defying laws of stellar physics.

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. As deep-space probes continue to explore throughout the solar system and beyond, scientists on the ...

NASA has sent test data nearly 10 million miles (16 million kilometers), encoded on a near-infrared laser. The Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment sent data to Earth from the Psyche ...

Much of the universe's regular "baryonic" matter is spread through intergalactic space and in diffuse halos around galaxies, researchers proposed after studying the behavior of fast radio bursts ...

The cosmos has a way of rewriting its own rulebook, and a single blast of high-energy light has just forced astronomers back to the first page. Earlier this year, a gamma-ray outburst that raged for ...

"Considering the direction and frequency of our most common signals gives insights into where we should be looking to improve our chances of detecting alien technosignatures." When you purchase ...

A strange sound from deep space was picked up by astronomers here on Earth the other day. And it apparently took them about eight million years to reach us. According to Earth.com, astronomers from ...

Astronomers believe they’ve uncovered the source behind mysterious cosmic signals known as fast X-ray transients (FXTs) — and it adds a grim twist to our understanding of the death of stars. Right as ...

On March 19, one of NASA's Deep Space Network facilities — located in Canberra, Australia — entered its 60th year of relaying priceless information between scientists on Earth and the spacecraft they ...

NASA monitors MAVEN spacecraft after December 6 signal loss, coordinating recovery with Deep Space Network. Mars solar conjunction from December 29 to January 16 will pause communications.

Deep space communication protocols serve as the backbone of interplanetary data exchange, where vast distances and significant signal delays demand robust and adaptive transmission techniques.
