Astronomers Detect RBFLOAT, Brightest Fast Radio Burst Ever Observed
An international team of astronomers has detected RBFLOAT, the brightest fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded, just 130 million light-years away in Ursa Major. Detected by CHIME in March 2025, the powerful radio flash was traced to galaxy NGC-4141. Follow-up imaging with the James Webb Space Telescope revealed a faint stellar source near the burst,...

Scientists Trace Universe’s Missing Ordinary Matter Using FRBs and X-rays
New astronomical breakthroughs have identified where the universe’s “missing” ordinary matter resides. Using 70 FRBs, including one from 9 billion light-years away, scientists discovered that 76% of ordinary matter exists between galaxies. A separate X-ray study observed an enormous hot gas filament connecting galaxy clusters.

Fast Radio Bursts Reveal Universe’s Missing Matter Hidden in Cosmic Intergalactic Fog
Astronomers have uncovered the universe’s missing baryonic matter using rapid radio bursts. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that most ordinary matter lies between galaxies, hidden in faint intergalactic clouds. This breakthrough highlights FRBs as powerful tools to probe cosmic structures, paving the way for discoveries in large-s...

Astronomers Locate Universe's 'Missing' Matter
With the help of powerful bursts of radio waves emanating from 69 locations in the cosmos, researchers now have found the "missing" matter.

Strange Fast Radio Bursts Emerge from an Ancient Dead Galaxy, Baffling Scientists
Scientists have detected mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the outskirts of an 11 billion-year-old dead galaxy. This discovery challenges the belief that FRBs primarily originate from young, star-forming galaxies. Researchers suspect the bursts may result from colliding stars or a collapsing white dwarf. The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mappi...

Scientists Find the Origin of a Mysterious Fast Radio Burst With a Unique Technique
Researchers have pinpointed the origin of fast radio burst FRB 20221022A to within 10,000 kilometres of a neutron star. Using scintillation analysis, a team from MIT determined that the burst emerged from the magnetosphere, a highly magnetic and chaotic environment surrounding the star. This discovery marks the first conclusive evidence of FRBs ori...

Asteroids Impacting Neutron Stars May Be the Cause of Fast Radio Bursts
Research suggests asteroid impacts on neutron stars may be the cause of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs). These collisions release enormous energy and match observed FRB frequency. Scientists believe interstellar objects colliding with neutron stars could account for their rate and occurrence, while repeating FRBs may stem from asteroid belts. O...

Mysterious Radio Signals from Deep Space Reportedly Reached Earth After Eight Billion Years
Astronomers recently detected an extraordinary event – a deep space radio signal that took 8 billion years to reach Earth. The radio burst, named FRB 20220610A, is one of the most powerful and distant signals ever captured. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) like this are brief but incredibly strong, leaving scientists questioning their origins.

Astronomers Reveal Origins Of Universe's Farthest And Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst
By utilizing images captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, scientists followed the path of the FRB and discovered that it didn't originate from a single galaxy but rather from a cluster of at least seven galaxies.

Never-Before-Seen Anomaly Found In Fast Radio Bursts, Say Astronomers
Astronomers think at least some FRBs are generated by a type of neutron star known as a magnetar.

Longest Fast Radio Burst Similar to Heartbeat Pattern Detected Billions of Light-Years Away From Earth
Astronomers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) observed the signal to be up to three seconds long, making it 1,000 times longer than usual FRBs. What appeared more fascinating about the find was the pattern of the radio signals. Researchers noted that the burst emitted in a periodic pattern of a beating heart that repeated every 0...

Strange Repeating Fast Radio Burst (FRB) Originating From Distant Galaxy Detected by Scientists
The detection of a new and strange fast radio burst originating from a galaxy located 3 billion light-years away has left astronomers puzzled. Fast Radio Burst or FRB are bursts of radio waves in space that are milliseconds long. The latest finding has caused the astronomers to speculate if there are two kinds of fast radio bursts.

Scientists Zoom In On Fast Radio Bursts, The Most Mysterious Signals In Space
Nobody knows what causes fast radio bursts - brief, bizarre radio wave beams that emit more energy in a fraction of a millisecond than the sun does all day. But scientists just got closer than ever before to the source of one of these enigmatic signals.
