Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are intense bursts of radio waves lasting just milliseconds—yet they release more energy than the Sun does in days.
The first FRB was discovered in 2007 by astronomers reviewing old data. Since then, dozens more have been detected.
Heat ghee in a pan.
FRBs come from outside our galaxy—billions of light-years away. But their exact source? Still a mystery.
While most FRBs are one-time events, a few have been observed repeating—raising big questions about their origins.
Magnetars? Black holes? Even alien technology? Scientists are exploring all possibilities, but nothing is certain yet.
Powerful radio telescopes like CHIME and ASKAP scan the skies daily, capturing these strange bursts.
Fast Radio Bursts remain one of the greatest modern space mysteries. Could the next one bring the answer?
