Astronomers have uncovered fast-repeating radio bursts (FRBs) from a distant “dead” galaxy that shouldn’t produce such signals. The bursts, which last milliseconds, were linked to young magnetized neutron stars when they form but are puzzling because the galaxy in question lacks this activity. Researchers used advanced telescopes, including CHIME and Gemini, to pinpoint the source of these signals. The findings suggest a connection between these rare FRBs and previously unexplained phenomena, challenging existing theories about their origins. Further study could shed light on the enigma of these mysterious signals and our universe’s structure.
