- Astronomers have detected a mysterious blast of radio waves that have taken 8 billion years to reach Earth.
- The fast radio burst is one of the most distant and energetic ever observed.
- The burst, named FRB 20220610A, lasted less than a millisecond.
- But in that fraction of a moment, it released the equivalent of our sun’s energetic emissions over the course of 30 years.
- Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are intense, millisecond-long bursts of radio waves with unknown origins.
- The first FRB was discovered in 2007.
