New work probes the extraterrestrial source of incredibly powerful explosions of radio waves, investigating why that spot is the only known location to repeatedly burst with these blasts. These repeating bursts may come from a dense stellar core called a neutron star near an extraordinarily powerful magnetic field, such as one near a massive black hole, the study finds.
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are intense pulses of radio waves lasting just milliseconds that can give off more energy in a fraction of a second than the sun does in hours, days or weeks. FRBs were discovered only in 2007, and while researchers have detected 20 or so FRBs in the past decade, they estimate that such flashes might occur as many as 10,000 times a day across the entire sky, researchers wrote in the study.
Much remains a mystery about the origins of FRBs, because their brief nature makes it difficult to pinpoint where they come from. Among the possibilities that prior work suggested are cataclysmic events such as the evaporation of black holes and collisions between neutron stars.
However, in 2016, scientists discovered that a fast radio burst known as FRB 121102 could release multiple bursts. "It is the only known repeating fast radio burst source," study co-lead author Jason Hessels, an astrophysicist at the University of Amsterdam, told Space.com.
That FRB 121102 can explode over and over again suggests it does not come from some one-time cataclysmic event, Hessels said. "A key question in the field is whether this repeating fast radio burst source is fundamentally different compared to all the other apparently nonrepeating sources," he said.

There are like 100 people on the planet who could post something elucidating about this post, but you think today is your lucky day and one of them is here to explain things to you?
Alright, lighten up you two. You can’t both be Francis, surely.

Let me see if I can possibly explain this so that the layman (or as we Radio Astronomers call them, “Dumbasses”) can understand what is going on here.
OK.
There are these radio bursts coming from somewhere. We don’t know where. We don’t know what causes them. We don’t know if they mean anything. We don’t know if they’ll stop. We don’t know if they’ll get bigger. We don’t know if they are dangerous. We don’t know if they occur naturally or if somebody is tapping out a message.

Methinks your “Lighten up, Francis” meter is a little askew. No one that you were responding to seemed particularly upset, they were just making observations. Lighten up on the lighten up, please.
Lighten up on the “Lighten up on the lighten up, please.”, please.
It’s Galactus, the eater of worlds, just warming us up with his galactic microwave before he eats us for a little snack.
All these demands to “lighten up” are microaggressing me with your light privilege. Darken up please!
I will if you promise to lighten up on the hittin’ it...
Would love to know your interpretations of such things:-)
Essentially, like all "pulsar" neutron stars, what they are observing is a periodic electromagnetic tuned circuit of extremely high current, charging and discharging as the double layers of a Birkland Current reconnect. The rate is dependent on the amount of current that is flowing. These layers twist and rotate building extreme magnetic fields. . .
"Electromagnetic fields are induced by electric currents, so there must be a flow of electric charge generating the intense fields in a pulsar. It is indisputable that feeder currents must be part of a circuit, since persistent electric charge must travel through a completed electric circuit. Dense matter and extreme rotation are unnecessary, because electricity traveling through circuits provides an explanation consistent with electromagnetic theory."Pulsar oscillations are caused by resonant effects in those electric circuits. It is the sudden release of stored electrical energy in a “double layer” that is responsible for their energetic emissions. The outbursts begin with a sudden peak of energy, and then gradually decline, like a stroke of lightning. Depending on how much electricity is flowing through the circuit, a star’s electromagnetic field will be greater where there is more current. It seems more likely that pulsars are immense concentrations of electricity focused by some kind of dense plasma focus effect."
Worst case scenarios can result in super novae. . . and strangely, as proof of the current flow hypothesis, a recent super nova, flared up brighter than its home galaxy, subsided, then flared AGAIN, just as brightly, weeks later, suggesting the possibility of cyclic novae—something standard orthodox gravity driven cosmology cannot explain, because under that theory, the causation fuel is expended, but the Plasma/Electric model does explain because the electric current feed flow continues uninterrupted.
Thanks BenLurkin.

Did they leave their ghetto blaster out side when the were doing repairs to the space station again?
It’s another one of the extraterrestrial hip-hop fans riding around the galaxy with their radio turned all the way up, thinking everyone else wants to hear their music too.
