In July of 2015, Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced the creation of Breakthrough Listen, a decade-long project that would conduct the largest survey to date for signs of extra-terrestrial communications (ETI). As part of his non-profit organization, Breakthrough Initiatives, this survey would rely on the latest in instrumentation and software to observe the 1,000,000 closest stars and 100 closest galaxies.
Using the Green Bank Radio Telescope in West Virginia, the Listen science team at UC Berkeley has been observing distant stars for over a year now. And less than a week ago, they observed 15 Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) coming from a dwarf galaxy located three billion light-years away. According to a study that described their findings, this was the first time that repeating FRBs have been seen coming from this source at these frequencies.

FYI: The full name of the radio telescope is The Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. Of course considering Byrd was a KKK Grand Wizard and used every parliamentary maneuver to stop various Civil Rights Acts need to remove to compress the name to just Green Bank Telescope.
a Pulsar?
"Drink your Ovaltine"?
Gee! Only from a dwarf galaxy located three billion light-years away! Lets build a rocket and go!
.....coming from a dwarf galaxy located three billion light-years away.....
coming from a galaxy located far, far away...................
If these are from an intelligent species, they were sent when single cell life was just getting fully established on earth. That’s a thought.
LOL! Good times!
This was posted before. It would take 6 billion years to send a message back and receive a reply.
I’ve seen this movie before.
It doesn’t end well for us Earthlings.

You think an alien civilization that advanced would still be using primitive radio waves?
That’s like us using smoke signals and clay tablets.
As long as we keep our Slim Whitman recording arsenal ready, we should be OK...
