Specialists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were able to detect an unusual signal from
What is known
Its peculiarity lies in its duration.If ordinary radio waves of unknown origin last a few milliseconds, then this signal lasted a full three seconds, i.e. 1000 times longer than the average fast radio burst. To date, this is a record.
The source is in a galaxy thatlocated at a distance of 1 billion light years from Earth. This is approximately 9.5 * 1021 km, if anyone is interested. The experts could not determine the source, but they suggest that the signal is emitted by a neutron star. By the way, the signal was called FRB (Fast Radio Bursts) 20191221A.
