We’ve Tracked 5 Mysterious Fast Radio Bursts to The Arms of Distant Spiral Galaxies – ScienceAlert

The mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs) continues to fascinate astronomers. No one is quite sure what’s behind these super-short, super-intense radio wave pulses from deep space, but now astronomers have tracked down five FRBs to their home galaxies.
It’s the Hubble Space Telescope that has come up with the goods again. The ultraviolet and infrared cameras on the telescope were used to see where on a star map these five bursts emerged from, which gives us a better understanding of how they might…
