Hubble Tracks Origins Of Energy Blasts
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are extraordinary events that generate as much energy in a thousandth of a second as the Sun does in an entire year! Astronomers using #NASA ’s Hubble #Space Telescope have traced the locations of five brief, powerful FRBs, which are near or on their host galaxies’ spiral arms. The #Science research helped rule out some of the possible stellar objects originally thought to cause these brilliant flares.
