Radio signals from a galaxy billions of light-years away from Earth have been repeatedly detected by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although they have not been able to pinpoint the location, astronomers think that neutron stars may be the origin of the radio waves.
The scientists discovered radio wave bursts that repeat every 0.2 seconds in a specific rhythm, resembling a beating heart, within this window. It was indicated in the statement that this was not the first time a signal has been picked up.
The Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in British Columbia, Canada, also discovered evidence of a FRB in December 2019.The signal itself is periodic for the first time, according to postdoc Daniele Michilli of the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Scientists can determine the rate of the universe’s expansion using information about bursts, such as their frequency and frequency distribution.
