Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have consistently found radio signals coming from a galaxy billions of light-years away from Earth.

Astronomers believe that neutron stars may be the source of the radio waves, despite the fact that they have not been able to locate them. Within this window, the researchers found radio wave bursts that repeat every 0.2 seconds in a certain rhythm, suggesting a beating heart.
The statement made it clear that this wasn’t the first time a signal had been discovered. In December 2019, the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in British Columbia, Canada, also found proof of a FRB.
According to postdoc Daniele Michilli of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, the signal itself is periodic for the first time. Using data on bursts, such as their frequency and frequency distribution, scientists can calculate the rate of the universe’s expansion.
Radio signals were released after the release of images from the James Webb Space Telescope that sent us back in time to 13 billion years ago.
