Astronomers have detected a rare radio signal that originated about 3 billion years ago in a galaxy far, far away. And as one expert puts it, the source is "kind of perplexing." Fast radio bursts, millisecond-long pulses of radio emission from beyond our galaxy, were first discovered a decade ago. Since then, scientists have detected only 30 of them, generally believed to be caused by colliding black holes or other cataclysmic events, per Popular Science.
