Astronomers have detected the brightest fast radio burst, RBFLOAT, from a nearby galaxy, potentially revealing secrets about cosmic phenomena. This breakthrough could redefine our understanding of these mysterious signals.
On March 16, 2025, the CHIME telescope detected RBFLOAT, the brightest fast radio burst ever recorded, emitting energy equal to the Sun's output over four days. This unprecedented discovery has astronomers racing to uncover its origins.
For the first time, scientists have traced a record-breaking radio signal to its cosmic origins using the James Webb Space Telescope. This groundbreaking discovery could reshape our understanding of fast radio bursts and their stellar environments.
Astronomers have tracked the brightest flash of radio waves, known as RBFLOAT, back to its source in the galaxy NGC 4141, revolutionizing our understanding of fast radio bursts (FRBs).
