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.

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...

After 8 Billion Years, Mysterious Deep Space Radio Signal Reaches Earth
Dubbed FRB 20220610A, this signal is one of the most distant and energetic ever observed.

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.

Mysterious Radio Burst Came From A Galaxy 2.5 Billion Light Years Away, Astronomers Discover
A dim dwarf galaxy 2.5 billion light years from Earth is sending out the mysterious millisecond-long blasts of radio waves, researchers report Wednesday in Nature and Astrophysical Journal Letters. The bursts traverse vast expanses of time and intergalactic space before reaching our planet.

Radio Flash Came From Galaxy 6 Billion Light-Years Away: Study
For nine years, astronomers have been trying to pinpoint the origins of mysterious radio flashes which erupt briefly and violently in the faraway Universe.

Mysterious Radio Pulses from Outer Space Explained
Astronomers have tied the origin of Fast Radio Bursts - brief yet brilliant eruptions of cosmic radio waves - to a highly magnetised, gas-filled region of space, providing a new hint in the decade-long quest to explain the mysterious radio pulses.
