Astonishing Radio Signal Travels 8 Billion Years To Hit Earth
Astronomers recently discovered a mysteriously powerful burst of radio waves from eight billion years ago.
Astronomers have made a shocking discovery. They discovered a powerful burst of radio waves as they reached Earth. Part of their discovery is the radio waves are from eight billion years ago.
Radio waves can travel great distances. Without obstructions, they can travel thousands of miles. In space, they can travel exponentially farther. FRB 20220610A is one of the most distant radio signals ever recorded and one of the most energetic.
The origin of such radio waves continues to perplex the scientific community because they are so perplexing. We still don’t understand what or who sends these radio waves. FRB 20220610A isn’t the first.
The signals challenge the scientific community and their understanding of the universe because of their origins. They tend to originate from regions far beyond our galaxy and hint at events the human race is only beginning to understand. Decoding and understanding the existence and origin of these FRBs will take additional research and time.
