Detailed explanation-1: -Of the more than 800 FRBs discovered to date, only one other has a similar persistent radio signal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense, brief flashes of radio-frequency emissions, lasting on the order of milliseconds. The phenomenon was discovered in 2007, by graduate student David Narkevic and his supervisor Duncan Lorimer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Young said the mysterious bursts are likely coming from neutron stars, which are crushed stellar cores of a dead star with a strong magnetic field.
