Repeating Fast Radio Burst From Deep Space Wakes Up Right on Time – ExtremeTech
The mysterious signal has switched back on, confirming the previous findings from the University of Manchester. If the cycle holds, there’s hope we might finally know what FRBs are in the not-too-distant future.
Our old friend FRB 121102 is back, and right on time. Earlier this year, astronomers identified a distinct 157-day cycle in the activity of FRB 121102, one of many so-called “fast radio bursts” emanating from deep space.
