It’s a countdown. A real slow one, but a countdown.

The whole FRB thing is one of the most interesting developments in astronomy since quasars, back in the early ‘60s.

*** It fires off bursts for a four-day stretch, goes quiet for 12 days and then starts all over again. ***
Looks like it takes the Little Green Men a long time to reload! File this away for when Capt. Kirk gets there and needs to slip inside their planetary defenses.

"...strong indications of a 157-day activity cycle..."
That would be 157 earth-days?
Why the hell would a deep-space event be on a cycle based on our solar system?

“... periodic flare-ups could be caused by a wobble in the rotational axis of a highly magnetized neutron star known as a magnetar. Or they could be linked to the orbital motions of a neutron star in a binary system.”
I have no idea what that means.

Sometimes it’s best not to invite the more advanced to your puny little planet.
