Astronomers Discover 25 New Fast Radio Bursts Unlike What We Have Seen Before

Researchers with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) observatory have more than doubled the number of repeated FRBs spotted by the telescope, adding 25 more to the 21 already known. And, they have 14 more repeating candidates that they hope to follow up in future observations to confirm. CHIME observes the sky using the rotation of the Earth, no moving parts required, so it can pick up these FRBs as they happen. It has so far detected 500 FRBs.

Follow-ups of the Lorimer burst. Can you believe that the Lorimer burst was once thought to be a sign of alien civilization?
