Astronomers report that 3 billion light-years from us “woke up” a mysterious source of fast radio bursts “FRB 121102 “.
Of course, scientists exaggerate: 15 mysterious signals, each lasting about 300 microseconds, went into space 3 billion years ago, when our planet was very young, and talk about them in retrospect. However, people of science do not able to explain the nature of these single radio pulses. there is every reason to believe that they were sent reasonable creatures.
Earth’s largest telescopes periodically for a decade record a series of fast radio bursts, the sources of which impossible to determine. These brief impulses carry tremendous energy and have a clear sequence, which is why many experts talk about their artificial origin. However, more skeptical scientists suggest that everything can be blamed be neutron stars, vaporizing black holes, active nuclei dwarf galaxies and other astronomical objects. But say with the accuracy of what it is, explain this cosmic phenomenon outside “assumptions”, no one can.
The study of fast radio bursts is hampered by the fact that they are very unpredictable and short-lived. The incident became only the 25th in the entire history of man observing the cosmos. Monitoring such Signals are taken today by experts from many countries of the world, including astronomers in West Virginia operating 100 meters Green Bank parabolic radio telescope. The main purpose of this project – the search for alien life, and the Americans are very interested in deciphering such impulses.
It is noteworthy that the mysterious signals sent in the distant past “FRB 121102” and recorded by specialists the other day, have twice the burst frequency than their predecessors. Not it is possible that this will facilitate scientists observing these outbreaks and will finally allow you to find out their true source.
