New Fast Radio Burst Adds to Celestial Mystery

Scientists detect unique 'celestial slide whistle' signal, but source remains elusive.

Scientists have detected a new fast radio burst (FRB) from space, dubbed FRB 20220912A, that is adding to the mystery of these celestial phenomena.
The FRB was detected using the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array, and over two months, the team detected 35 bursts from a single source.
Unlike previous FRBs that repeated over time, the team noticed that the signal dropped in the center frequency of the bursts, likened to a 'celestial slide whistle.'
Despite their best efforts, the team wasn't able to detect a regular timing between each of the bursts, adding to the unpredictability of these signals.
Scientists are still hunting for a source behind these FRBs, with one theory suggesting they could be released by the extremely magnetized remains of a collapsed star.
