Radio signal coming from a source within the Milky Way has been detected by astronomers.
The signal is a fast radio burst (FRB), bright radio bursts that last milliseconds and appear to come from deep space. Because they are short-lived, they were often only identified in satellite data after the signal was recorded. Finding where they came from and what produced them has been largely a mystery.
For example, earlier this year, one team was able to trace on FRB to an "odd" V-shaped star-forming region in a huge spiral galaxy half a billion light-years away.
