Are aliens trying to contact Earth? Scientists reveal 'weird' origin of signal that traveled 8 billion years through space

Daily Mail  

Scientists have identified the 'weird' origin of a high-energy burst of radio waves that traveled eight billion years through space before reaching Earth. New NASA Hubble Space Telescope images have given the clearest images yet of the host galaxy of an exceptionally powerful fast radio burst, FRB 20220610A. Hubble's sensitivity and sharpness revealed that this distant galaxy is part of a 'weird' cluster of seven galaxies The FRB, dubbed FRB 20220610A, was found to be the most powerful and farthest ever detected when astronomers intercepted it in 2022. Astronomer Wen-fai Dong, who is studying FRB 20220610A, noted that the new Hubble images appear to show oblong shapes or 'tidal tales' to some of these galaxies - suggesting that they may have had collisions. These collisions may have created this fast radio burst FRB 20220610A's origin in a dense cluster of galaxies would mean that any advanced aliens would have a dramatic head start setting-up their own Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence radio.

Scientists trace powerful radio signal to most distant galaxy yet

The Hindu  

Every day and night, hundreds of thousands of intense, brief flashes of radiation suddenly flicker on and then off all across the sky. These “fast radio bursts” are invisible to the naked eye, but to a radio telescope many almost outshine everything else in the sky for a few thousandths of a second. Fast radio bursts let us study the …
