Signals From Space??

It was recently discovered that mysterious radio signals from beyond our galaxy are appearing, and acting “strangely”. FRBs (Fast Radio Bursts) are quick, very rare blasts of radio waves that start billions of light years away in deep space, as Popular Science explains. They were found starting in 2007, but only 17 total have ever been detected since then and don’t repeat. At least, that was our theory until now- we have found evidence of FRBs that may actually repeat.

Research proves that there can be more than one FRB in the same place out in space, according to researcher Shami Chatterjee, and she stated, “Whatever produces the FRB can’t be destroyed by the burst, because otherwise, what would produce the next pulse?” Also, whatever makes FRBs can recharge like a battery to send out more Fast Radio Bursts. It is a mystery that baffles us, and we don’t have an answer or explanation for anything like this yet. Cool, but creepy!!
