Strange Signals Are Coming From Space, And Repeating

Of all the weirdness in the universe, fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the weirdest. Sure, possible (probably not) alien megastructures might beat them in an astrophysical brawl, but FRBs are really strange.

Sounds almost like a direct quote of my opinions.

Someone needs to work out what they are, or a team of scientists

maybe that is one thing Australia could do for Science, a serious FRB Study!

“researchers looking into this topic will soon get an assist from three new, massive radio telescopes that will begin operation in the next year. “

Any idea what or where these three radio telescopes are?

Sigourney Weaver did that and look where it got her.

Three instruments that will be able to detect several FRBs per day are either ramping up or set to begin operations this year: the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment in British Columbia, the upgraded Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope near Canberra and the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope in Guizhou province, China.

Not that one yet, first light scheduled for 2021. Good try.

Possibly also the LLAMA, Large Latin American Millimeter Array, due to begin operations in 2017.
