There are many mysterious things in space that we can't study in great detail because they're simply too far away. As technology advances, we'll have the opportunity to do more intensive research of far-off objects, but as we sit here on Earth, a truly bizarre phenomenon has routinely made the trip right to our front door, and scientists are still struggling to explain it. They're called FRBs, short for Fast Radio Bursts, and discovering what causes them may be one of the great achievements in space science.
Fast Radio Bursts are exactly what they sound like. They're intense blasts of radio energy that speed through space and occasionally can be detected by scientists on Earth. They're often one-time events, originating from a far-off point in space and never repeating. Some, however, do repeat, and on a pretty regular schedule, which only serves to make the events even more puzzling. Now, astronomers using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope have detected the origins of five such bursts, and they're all located in different far-off locations in the cosmos.
