Scientists detect 249 fast radio bursts in minutes from deep space
In 2024, astronomers using South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope detected 249 fast radio bursts (FRBs) from deep space within minutes. The event, FRB 20240619D, is one of the most active repeaters recorded, likely linked to magnetars or binary star systems. These bursts provide crucial insights into cosmic structures and extreme astrophysics.
