  • Binary Stars and Magnetars: Cracking the Mystery of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

    Binary Stars and Magnetars: Cracking the Mystery of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts
    Jan 20 2026
    Using China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), astronomers have found strong evidence that some fast radio bursts originate in binary star systems. Nearly two years of observations of a repeating burst revealed extreme Faraday rotation, pointing to a nearby companion star.

    The data suggest a magnetar orbiting a sun-like star whose plasma periodically distorts the radio signal. This discovery offers one of the clearest clues yet to the origin of repeating FRBs, supporting the idea that interactions in double-star systems drive these powerful cosmic flashes.

  • SETI@home: How Millions of PCs Hunted for Alien Life

    SETI@home: How Millions of PCs Hunted for Alien Life
    Jan 18 2026
    For over 20 years, SETI@home turned millions of personal computers into a global supercomputer, analyzing massive radio data in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

    This pioneering crowdsourced project processed billions of potential signals, eventually narrowing them down to 100 top-priority targets. Today, scientists are using China's gigantic FAST telescope to re-observe these promising locations for signs of alien technology.

    While no breakthrough discovery has been made yet, SETI@home revolutionized the field by setting new sensitivity benchmarks and creating powerful algorithms to separate real signals from earthly interference.

    Join us as we explore how distributed computing and public participation forever changed modern astronomy!

  • How NASA's Pandora Satellite Is Reading the Atmospheres of Alien Worlds

    How NASA's Pandora Satellite Is Reading the Atmospheres of Alien Worlds
    Jan 16 2026
    What's in the atmosphere of distant exoplanets? NASA's Pandora satellite is about to tell us. Launched via SpaceX, this refrigerator-sized spacecraft uses cutting-edge spectroscopy to detect water vapor, clouds, and other chemical signatures across twenty planetary systems. But here's the challenge: the planets' atmospheric signals get drowned out by interference from stellar sunspots on their host stars.

    Pandora solves this puzzle with precision engineering, filtering out the noise to reveal what's really happening on worlds light-years away. We explore how this mission will unlock the secrets of exoplanet atmospheres, support findings from the James Webb Space Telescope, and train the next generation of space scientists—all while making its data freely available to the global research community.
