I say, enough of fear-mongering about radio waves. If you don't like smart meters, fair enough. But find other reasons to oppose them, and get off the "radio waves are dangerous" soapbox.

When the New York Times first wrote about "mysterious radio waves" from the cosmos in 1933, they made sure to note one fundamental caveat: "No Evidence of Interstellar Signaling." Indeed, the ...

“These stars are incredibly common, making up 70% of the stars in the Milky Way, but they are so faint that not a single one is visible to the naked eye,” Walker wrote. As to how a red and ...

A cosmic enigma Now, researchers are trying to figure out the source of ASKAP J1832-0911’s radio waves and X-rays, which don’t fit into a neat box for categorization, and whether it’s truly ...

And we’re not just talking about a little blip of radio emission. Every 22 minutes, it emits a five-minute pulse of radio wavelength energy, and it’s been doing that for at least 33 years.

The object, known as ASKAP J1832-0911, emits pulses of radio waves and X-rays for two minutes every 44 minutes. This is the first time objects like these, called long-period transients (LPTs ...
