The Netherlands-based Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has discovered five new Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), or rapidly repeating radio signals from deep space, using its recently upgraded telescope. The LOFAR is a low-frequency radio telescope equipped with 20,000 antennas that makes observing extremely faint radio waves from objects in the universe possible. These FRBs are short-lived radio wave signals, which are intense bursts of energy that come from far beyond the Milky Way galaxy. Scientists hope tracking these signals down will lead to a better understanding of the nature of the universe.
Astronomers discover five new Fast Radio Bursts
Astronomers in the Netherlands have discovered five new Fast Radio Bursts in the universe after upgrading their telescope to become “one of the most powerful” in the world. These bursts of radio waves last only a fraction of a millisecond but are sometimes powerful enough to be detected from billions of light years away.
