New radio telescope picks up mysterious signal from space - CNET

'A new radio telescope in Canada is doing its job picking up mysterious signals from deep space known as "fast radio bursts" (FRBs). '

'CHIME and other observatories will be keeping an ear to the sky for more clues to help solve the mystery. '

'So far only one FRB has been observed repeating and researchers say whatever is sending that signal across the universe is stupendously powerful. '

'It was announced in an online "Astronomer's Telegram" post intended to encourage other astronomers "to search for repeated bursts at all wavelengths."', "They're one of the newer cosmic mysteries around, having been first detected only about a decade ago."

This has been an automated message.
