<br /> Scientists have been perplexed by "fast radio bursts" (FRBs) or blasts of radio waves from distant galaxies since they were first detected years ago.<br />The FRBs are usually about one-thousandth of a second, making it impossible to pinpoint their origins.<br />To date, almost all of the 85 detected FRBs are one-time events, but a few have repeated, allowing astronomers to locate one of them.<br />Now, researchers have located a second FRB. The team used an array of 36 radio dishes in Western Australia to pinpoint it.<br />Using some of the world’s largest telescopes, the FRB was identified as coming from a galaxy 3.6 billion light-years from Earth.<br />Science Magazine reports that astronomers have dubbed the newly located FRB as "FRB 180924". <br />
