A radio burst from a distant galaxy rang like a cosmic bell: eight pulses faded evenly, as if someone plucked a string. This could be the first 'heartbeat' of a neutron star—a rare clue bringing us closer to solving the FRB mystery.
🎯 Some neutron stars spin hundreds of times a second—faster than a blender. Their radio beams sweep past us like lighthouse beams, earning them the name pulsars.
🎬 In Carl Sagan's 'Contact,' a mysterious radio signal becomes the key to alien intelligence. Real fast radio bursts have yet to reveal their nature, remaining a favorite plot device for sci-fi writers.
