Scientists Find Cosmic 'Rosetta Stone' To Decode Baffling Signals From Deep Space

First Proof Mysterious Radio Pulses Come From Cataclysmic Variables Represents “Astronomical Rosetta Stone”

We’ve never seen a member of this class of signals behave like this, but there is a surprising parallel within our own Solar System.

Scientists Find Cosmic 'Rosetta Stone' To Decode Baffling Signals From Deep Space

Just a few years ago, a strange signal was received from the plane of the Milky Way. It was something astronomers had never seen before, pulsing with a radio beat too slow to fit any known astronomical object. It may have just come and gone as a one-off anomaly. But then they found another one. And another. To date, around a dozen of these long-period radio transients (LPTs) have been detected from diverse corners of the galaxy, leaving scientis…

Scientists Find Cosmic 'Rosetta Stone' That Could Finally Decode Mysterious Deep-Space Radio Signals

Scientists have finally pinpointed the source of one of the galaxy's weirdest repeating radio signals: a white dwarf actively draining a companion star in a 1.3-hour orbit.
