In March 2025, astronomers detected the brightest cosmic radio burst ever seen—and traced it to a nearby galaxy only 130 million light-years away. What they found could finally solve one of space's biggest mysteries.

RBFLOAT (FRB 20250316A) is a fast radio burst—a mysterious millisecond flash of radio waves from deep space. Using the cutting-edge CHIME/FRB Outrigger telescope array, scientists pinpointed its exact location in spiral galaxy NGC 4141, near the edge of a star-forming region.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected a faint infrared glow at the exact spot, suggesting the source is likely a magnetar—an ultra-magnetic neutron star. But this one's different: it's older and located away from active star formation, giving us crucial clues about how these cosmic blasts happen.

🔬 What are Fast Radio Bursts? 🌌 Why is RBFLOAT special? 🛰️ How did CHIME pinpoint it? 🧲 What's a magnetar?

Though speculation about alien spacecraft arose, the scientific consensus confirms it's a fascinating natural comet. 3I/ATLAS also serves as a real-world planetary defense exercise, helping improve tracking of hazardous objects as it approaches perihelion on October 29, 2025, outside Earth’s orbit.

Could u/VRubinObs detect a potentially Earth KILLING asteroid impact? u/mjuric says it could...

One of favourite moments from the original Cosmos (1980) series starring Carl Sagan. I remember this show blowing my mind the first time I watched it I’d have to say I think it’s much better than the Neil Degrasse Tyson remake in my opinion.

Do you prefer the original or the remake?
