A thread of the cosmic web: astronomers spot a 50 million light-year galactic filament

Until recently, the Universe's gas filaments have been elusive. But now one was detected with our ASKAP radio telescope.

Bad space weather may make life impossible near Proxima Centauri

We recently detected the signature of fierce space weather from Proxima Cen, which implies an orbiting planet could be blasted with hazardous particles and magnetic fields.

We’ve mapped a million previously undiscovered galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Take the virtual tour here.

Astronomers have mapped about a million previously undiscovered galaxies beyond the Milky Way, in the most detailed survey of the southern sky ever carried out using radio waves.
