Hubble Space Telescope traces 5 mysterious ‘fast radio bursts’ to distant spiral galaxies – Space.com

New Hubble Space Telescope observations have given more credence to a theory explaining mysterious radio energy bursts.
The long-running observatory tracked down five fast radio bursts (FRBs) to the spiral arms of five faraway galaxies. FRBs are notoriously hard to trace because the bright flares fade so quickly, and astronomers have only found about 1,000 of them so far, but there are a few theories about their origin stories.
