Paging dr astro
Quoting: Phennommennonn Here's the actual research article: [ link to www.nature.com (secure)] "Here we report the detection of six repeat bursts from FRB 180814.J0422+73" Coordinates of the detection are R.A. 04h 22m 22s, Dec. +73 degrees 4'. Of course, at a billion and a half light years a backyard telescope isn't going to see much, but there is one small, faint galaxy cataloged within about 2 arcminutes of those coordinates. That's well within the bounding box of where the source could be according to their detections. [ link to simbad.u-strasbg.fr] There's not much info about it that I can find out there, and it may not be the galaxy this came from, but it does coincide with the coordinates of the detection. The structure of the pulse is rather interesting, they have data on it from a burst in September and from one in October. There are multiple sub-pulses within each pulse, each one is at a slightly lower frequency than the previous sub-pulse, all clustered together within the span of a few milliseconds. Quoting: Dr. Deplorable Astromut 1.5B light years -- doesn't that mean this was initiated a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away? Can't imagine why they would want to chat with the assholes on this planet. Could be anything, could be the source is even now, far, far more advanced, or no longer in existence? or Could be God's plan, for terminating all this, finally reaching the ears of humanity? or Something else we cannot even fathom.
