Repeating radio signals from a mysterious source in a dwarf galaxy 3 billion
light-years away have been detected by astronomers.

Using the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, scientists with the
Breakthrough Listen initiative—a massive project dedicated to finding signs
of intelligent alien life—recorded 15 repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) on
August 26. The discovery was announced as an Astronomer's Telegram and will
be described in further detail in a forthcoming scientific article, according
to a statement from Breakthrough Listen.

FRBs last just a few milliseconds and appear to be coming from deep space.
Because FRBs have an extremely short duration, and because scientists usually
find them in data only after the event has taken place, pinpointing their
origin has not been possible.
