| Precise location, distance provide breakthrough in study of fast radio bursts 01/05/2017 10:17 AM EST
For the first time, astronomers have pinpointed in the sky the location of highly-energetic, but very short-lived bursts of radio waves (called "fast radio bursts"), allowing them to determine the distance and home galaxy of one of these mysterious pulses. The new information rules out several suggested explanations for the source of these bursts. Source National Radio Astronomy Observatory
