Astronomers have finally traced a strange class of radio signals—long a cosmic mystery—to a binary star system made up of a white dwarf and a red dwarf. These findings may transform what scientists ...

Astronomers pinpointed the source of the signal to a low mass star, but it can't generate that much energy on its own. Reading time 3 minutes A steady pulse of bright energy has been emanating from ...
