Fast radio burst traced to 'dead' galaxy. The recent burst, called FRB 20240209A, throws that theory into question. The flare was first detected in February 2024 with a newer radio telescope ...
"Fast radio bursts shine through the fog of the intergalactic medium, and by precisely measuring how the light slows down, we can weigh that fog, even when it's too faint to see." ...
Radio telescopes saw a strange burst of unknown energy in June 2024. Now we know it was from Relay 2, an early ...
Canadian radio telescope takes the search for puzzling fast radio bursts into a new era by Alan Boyle on January 9, 2019 at 5:17 pm January 10, 2019 at 12:39 am Share 158 Tweet Share Reddit Email ...
These fast radio bursts are notoriously tricky to observe since they only last a few milliseconds before disappearing. However, radio telescopes have helped astronomers intercept these cosmic ...
