The phenomena, known as fast radio bursts or FRBs, were first detected in 2007 by astronomers scouring archival data from Australia's Parkes Telescope, a 64 - meter diameter dish best known for its role receiving live televison images from the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.

For the first time, astronomers pinpointed the location of a fast radio burst (FRB), which is a phenomena where a very strong burst of radio emission occurs.

The catch with fast radio bursts, notes Vandenbroucke, is that they are mostly random and they last for only a few milliseconds, too fast to routinely detect or conduct follow - up observations with radio and optical telescopes.
