The work of astronomers to explore space is simply James Webb Space Telescope It does not focus on our visual perceptions such as: Radio signals and various data are also among the topics that researchers focus on.

Among these studies from deep space A radio signal has caught their attention. Because this radio signal can be perceived with a certain rhythm and a certain strength, like the regular beating of a heart. Scientists, on the other hand, make an assumption about the source of this signal.

Signal can be detected regularly

According to astronomers, the source of these regular signals is the remains of a long-dead star. Pulsar or magnetar The common name of these structures, which are called neutron stars. These structures, which have a very high speed and a very high density value, are about to become a black hole. From time to time they also send radio signals into space. These signals too fast radio bursts is called.

Although this phenomenon has been known for a long time, it is the reason why new radio waves have attracted so much attention duration and rhythm it happened. A very periodically repeating signal every 0.2 seconds reverberated through the room for about three seconds. This period is about 1000 times longer than a normal burst of fast radio waves.

Work in this area has also intensified since the first rapid radio burst was discovered in 2007. scientists now VRB 20191221A they examined the source from which this fast radio wave came even more closely. The aforementioned radio burst has also been detected by MIT and many other research institutions.
