ADVERTISEMENTAn initiative set up to find signs of intelligent life in the universe has detected a series of mysterious radio signals from a dwarf galaxy 3 billion light years away. Scientists with Breakthrough Listen say they’ve found 15 fast radio bursts, or FRBs, from a deep space “repeater” called FRB 121102. Gemini Observatory/AURA/NSF/NRC Mysterious radio bursts were detected from a dwarf galaxy 3 billion light years away. While some radio bursts could be caused by a single catastrophic event such as a supernova, those events wouldn’t repeat. It’s so far away that the signals detected here today left their source at a time when life on Earth was limited to single-cell organisms.
