Scientists locate origin of a fast radio burst near a neutron star in a distant galaxy.

Scientists at MIT have pinpointed the exact location of a fast radio burst (FRB) from a galaxy 200 million light-years away. By analyzing the "twinkling" of the radio signal, they found the burst likely came from near a neutron star, suggesting FRBs originate from the highly magnetic environment around these stars. This discovery could help explain the mystery behind these powerful radio signals.
