A staccato blast of electromagnetic energy has been tracked to an old, dead galaxy for the first time. The discovery supports the idea that there are more ways to produce such flares, called fast ...

A powerful blast of energy detected in March marks the brightest fast radio burst — a mysterious type of outburst from space — observed to date. FRBs, first observed in 2007, are millisecond-long ...

(CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, ...
