- Scientists with the CHIME Collaboration have assembled the largest collection of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the telescope’s first FRB catalogue.
- CHIME is Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment.
- It is a large stationary radio telescope in British Columbia, Canada.
- Sight of an FRB is considered a rare thing in the field of radio astronomy.
- Radio astronomers had only caught sight of around 140 bursts in their scopes since the first FRB was spotted in 2007.
- FRBs are oddly bright flashes of light which blaze for a few milliseconds before vanishing without a trace.
- They are registered in the radio band of the electromagnetic spectrum.
