Scientists Are Baffled Over Radio Signals From Supposed Long-Dead Galaxy | Attack of the Fanboy

A team of astronomers has made an exciting discovery: a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) coming from the edge of a very old, dead galaxy that is around 11 billion years old. This finding, shared in two recent studies published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, challenges what scientists previously thought about where FRBs come from and raises new questions about how galaxies evolve. Fast radio bursts are very powerful bursts of radio waves t…

Strange Radio Signals Traced to an Ancient Dead Galaxy Leave Scientists Baffled

Astronomers have detected strange radio signals emanating from a galaxy that should have been inactive for billions of years. This unexpected find challenges current theories about fast radio bursts (FRBs) and their origins. New studies published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters (here and here) describe how scientists pinpointed the bursts to an 11-billion-year-old galaxy—one that, […] The post Strange Radio Signals Traced to an Ancient Dead…

Scientists have discovered a dead galaxy that emits mysterious flashes of light. And this surprised the researchers because nothing like this should have happened. The “shocking” discovery was described in two studies published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Live Science reports. [see_also ids="629584"] Scientists note that the recorded flare is a type of cosmic eruption known as a fast radio burst (FRB). These are fleeting bursts of radi…
