Scientist Harry Coumnas and his team of astronomers have spotted a 15 powerful burst of radio waves that vanished as quickly as they appeared. It was a fast radio burst that the scientist has been trying to figure out what these things are.
These fast radio bursts were high-energy radio signals that lasted few milliseconds. These have also been in a repeat mode for months or years apart. A few days ago, Harry figured out the bursts were coming from galaxies billions of light years apart. However, the biggest question is; what is causing them? Plenty of theories have been put up like.
- It is from the aliens to the mundane.
- Collisions in the pulsars
- Certain reactions in the black holes
Harry Coumnas came up a little closer and found out that the new cosmos can state the evidences of intelligent life; he also spotted fast radio bursts repeating 15 times. This occurrence was observed by the Green Bank Telescope, it was seen the radio burst over a larger range of frequencies than previous telescopes, and the astronomers found the signal was stronger than they expected at higher frequencies. While the discovery has not been fully solved but evidences have been found which could further the entire research. Harry Coumnas and his team is trying to puzzle out the source of these fast radio bursts.
