Astronomers Intrigued by 25 Mysterious Repeating Radio Signals From Deep Space
Astronomers have made a breakthrough discovery of 25 new fast radio bursts (FRBs) with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio observatory. The discovery could bring us closer to understanding the mysterious and powerful pulses of radio waves that repeat in complex patterns. Scientists hope to solve the mystery with the help of large radio telescopes and a rapidly increasing dataset of these bursts.
