Fast radio bursts are a huge cosmic mystery, and now scientists have detected an unprecedented number of signals from one source in just 47 days.
Talk about a cosmic temper tantrum.
Scientists from different countries and academic centers detected the largest group of fast radio bursts (FRBs) identified so far.
The source of powerful radio signals from faraway space has deepened the mystery of the so-called rapid radio bursts.
An international team of astronomers reported that more than 1,650 fast radio bursts (FRBs) originated from a single source in space. These independent Fast Radio Bursts are coming from the source over 47 days, making them the largest-ever observed set of FRBs.
A huge new dataset could soon help unlock the cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs).

An international team of astronomers recently observed more than 1,650 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected from one source in deep space, which amounts to the largest set -- by far -- of the mysterious phenomena ever recorded.

A flurry of more than 1,650 FRBs detected by FAST telescope over 47 days in 2019 unlocks clues to the nature and location of the powerful millisecond-long cosmic radio explosions.
Astronomers may have spotted the first ever known planet orbiting not one, not two, but three stars.

UNLV researchers say they’ve made a discovery 13-hundred light-years from Earth that could possibly be the first planet to orbit three stars.
