CHIME Telescope has recently identified a series of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in space through the help of astronomers and notable researchers. Experts have been wondering where the light flashes have come from since they only lasted for a few milliseconds. The case was not new for the scientists since it was first spotted in 2007, and in 2017 the crew discovered that nearly 140 of them have occurred across the universe.

According to an updated report of CNN on Wednesday, June 9, the Canadian telescope has done all the job including the discovery of another batch of the space bursts. MIT s assistant professor of Physics, Kiyoshi Masui said that there is a precise direction that the CHIME telescope should be pointed out to identify the bursts at an appropriate schedule.

The best things in life are fleeting, and in radio astronomy, they are also among the brightest ever seen.
A telescope in British Columbia detected more than 500 new fast radio bursts in its first year of operation, between 2018 and 2019, according to a briefing streamed live via YouTube of an American Astronomical Society Meeting on Wednesday.
No one is sure what creates the fast radio bursts (FRBs), but this represents a significant step in continuing to map the universe.
