Los Fast radio bursts (FRB), known as millisecond long bursts of radio waves Origin unknown. Because of this, they have become one of the most enduring mysteries of the universe.
A recent study provided new clues to that effect Celestial events can also be unpredictableSince there is no time pattern between each burst.

The origin of these celestial phenomena is unknown.
Telescopes around the world have achieved this Catch the fastest radio bursts since 2007. However, astronomers have not yet been able to pinpoint the origin of these events because they are so sudden.

A few days ago, the journal Science Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, published a study with new information to provide researchers looking for the source of the explosions. But this It has raised more questions than answersAs per information shared CNN.

Report details Discovery of repeated fast radio bursts Called FRB 20220912A, it was detected by the SETI Institute’s Allen Telescope Array telescope in California.
It was like this The team detected more than 30 FRBs from the same source over two months.
Although many researchers have found similarities between the origin times of some eruptions. A detailed study showed that A significant drop in the central frequency of bursts, which acted like a sky whistle. This suggests that these celestial events are unpredictable.
Regarding the origin of FRBs, astronomers hypothesize that some bursts may come from magnetars (a type of neutron star with a very strong magnetic field).

However, other research has shown that they may come from collisions between dense neutron stars or dead stars known as white dwarfs.
“We narrow down the origin of FRBs to extreme objects like magnets, but No existing model can explain all the properties observed so far“said Dr. Sophia Sheikh, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral fellow at the National Science Foundation MPS-Ascend SETI Institute.
