Tianyan telescope so-called ‘FAST’ (Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), has begun to examine signals from 3 billion light years away. The largest telescope in China has detected more than 100 explosions, thought to be over 3 billion light years. Mysterious signals are emitted from a high-energy source anywhere in the universe.
Researchers at the facility continue to monitor the signals in hopes of further analysis of what might happen. Researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported that they were watching the FRB121102 signal, which was first observed by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico in 2015.
More than 100 bursts from FRB121102 were detected. They are not caused by alien signals, but because of some kind of phenomenon at a deep distance. Some believe that the signals are ‘repeater’, but others think it is ‘one-off’.
There is a theory that the signals actually explode from neutron stars colliding with black holes. Another theory suggests that they may be neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, also known as ang mangetars.
