Other future telescopes, including the VLA equipped with a feature called Realfast, should be able to pinpoint the locations of FRBs even if they don't repeat.As patterns emerge in the locations of FRBs and their origins become clear, scientists hope to use the signals to better understand the nature of their host galaxies, and to more precisely map the distribution of matter in the universe.
