However, according to a new paper available on the arXiv preprint server by Manisha Caleb of the University of Sydney and their co-authors, a potentially game-changing new tool being commissioned could use a particularly violent astronomical phenomenon to provide new insight into these hard-to-see places.<\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2026-07-ska-fast-radio-decode-universe.html\" target=\"_blank\">Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are parts of the universe that are extremely hard to see, even for our most advanced telescopes.
