Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon may originate in diverse ways.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) continue to baffle astronomers, and a new discovery has added another layer of complexity to this enigmatic phenomenon. According to a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters,

Scientists led by Northwestern University and McGill University have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the edges of an ancient elliptical galaxy. Scientists had previously thought that these quick radio blasts,

Astronomers have discovered fast-repeating radio signals coming from a distant "dead" galaxy. This is an unusual find since "dead" galaxies are not expected to have the energy needed to produce these signals,

Scintillation measurements show that FRB 20221022A originated from the highly magnetized region around a neutron star, challenging existing models of conditions there
