The amount of mysterious radio bursts has doubled

 25 new repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been discovered by an international research team that is studying these mysterious signals.

Energetically powerful pulses of radio emission come to us from outer space and so far their sources remain unknown. FRB signals were first recorded over a decade ago, and since then astronomers have identified more than 500 signals.

Some short radio bursts are repeated, reaching our planet at regular intervals. So far, 25 such signals have been known.

The new study describes 25 more previously unknown recurring FRBs, doubling their total number at once. In total, the researchers found 50 repeating FRBs, which indicates that in fact, many of the single signals recorded earlier may be repeating....<<<Read More>>>...
