Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals.

In a twist that’s got the astronomy world buzzing, scientists have picked up fast-repeating radio signals coming from a galaxy once thought to be out of action. Called Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), these quick blips last just milliseconds but pack as much energy in that tiny moment as our sun does in a whole day.

Scientists from Northwestern University and McGill University have made a discovery that challenges existing theories about the origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs). The findings, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters detail the observation of a fast radio burst originating from an ancient,
