Out of This World: Astronomers Discover Mysterious ‘Heartbeat’ in Far-off Galaxy

Persistent radio signals from a galaxy billions of light-years away were detected by astronomers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and universities throughout both the United States and Canada.

The waves occur in a regular pattern, similar to that of a heartbeat.

The signal is categorized as a fast radio burst, or FRB, which is a large occurrence of radio waves, the origin of which is unknown. These typically only last a few milliseconds, according to MIT News.

The recently detected signal lasted nearly three seconds, making it a peculiar discovery, as it is 1,000 times longer than the average FRB. (Read more from “Out of This World: Astronomers Discover Mysterious ‘Heartbeat’ in Far-off Galaxy” HERE)
