Radio Signal Coming from Inside the Milky Way Detected by Astronomers

The latest discovery was announced in The Astronomer's Telegram by Paul Scholz, of the University of Toronto, Canada, on behalf of the CHIME (Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment) and FRB Collaboration.

In it, the team announced the detection of a bright radio burst coming from the active magneter known as SGR 1935+2154. This is a type of neutron star, the collapsed core of a massive star, that is thought to have an extremely powerful magnetic field.

The observation was made Tuesday. The discovery is preliminary and researchers will need to analyze the burst to confirm their findings. However, if correct, they say this would be the first FRB ever detected coming from our own galaxy. "Additional observations are strongly encouraged at all wavelengths," they wrote.

Meh, stars collapse

I don't think there will be any fireworks.

They deciphered the Message.

It reads as follows:

Help us, our Sun is collapsing.

That is all.

Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror! - Ming of Mongo

Words to live by.

I don’t know...last week the Pentagon releases video of “UFO”s, now this story...if we see another “alien” themed story in a MSM outlet in the near future I wouldn’t rule it out that the stage is being set for a massive reveal of something. Feel free to tell me to put away the X-Files DVD’s 😄

Do they ever pick up noise coming from Uranus?

Do they ever pick up noise coming from Uranus?

Occasionally. And usually the Smell-o-Scope goes crazy about the same time. Coincidence?
