Mysterious Space Signal Indicates “Missing Matter” in…

whoa…what do you think this is?

They have only ever detected a few of these types of signals.  And apparently this one is changing the scientific modeling of a lot of astronomy departments.  Basically an FRB is a fast radio burst.  They still do not know for sure where they come from but the majority of astronomers think they come from pulsars.  However, there is debate amongst the astronomy and space fan communities alike.  This latest detection is pretty amazing:

An international team of scientists using a combination of radio and optical telescopes has for the first time managed to identify the location of a fast radio burst, allowing them to confirm the current cosmological model of the distribution of matter in the universe.

Let’s find out more about what this tells us about the visible universe on page 2
