Last week, astronomers managed to trace a mysterious, fleeting radiosignal back to a distant galaxy. Since then, teams from aro
und the worldhave tracked down ten more.The latest was spotted by a team at CalTech’s Owens Valley RadioObservatory on Tuesday,
according to CNET. Astronomers aren’t positivewhat’s causing these so-called “Fast Radio Burstsö — there are severalplausible
non-extraterrestrial-life-related explanations. But theserecent signals are a sign that intergalactic radio broadcasts are farm
ore common than scientists previously thought.The radio burst detected at CalTech originated from a galaxy 8 billionlight-years
away from our own according to research published in thejournal Nature — that’s twice the distance that the first radio burstd
etected last week traveled.That means that whatever gave off the signal, whether it was activitywithin a neutron star or potent
ially some sort of alien life, did sobillions of years before our planet even formed. But because thesesignals are popping up m
ore frequently than ever, astronomers believethey could finally find the culprit.“Astronomers have been chasing FRBs for a deca
de now, and we’re finallydrawing a bead on them,ö CalTech astronomer Vikram Ravi told CNET. “Nowwe have a chance of figuring ou
t just what these exotic objects mightbe.ö
