They are taken on the world's largest spherical radio telescope with a 500-meter aperture, the Xinhua news agency notes.
Chinese astronomers working on the world's largest spherical radio telescope have detected Repeating Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), mysterious signals emanating from a source believed to be 3 billion light-years from Earth.
It was reported on Monday by the Xinhua news agency.
"The signals are received on the world's largest spherical radio telescope with a 500-meter aperture, they are carefully checked and processed," the agency quotes the statement of specialists from the Chinese Astronomical Observatories at the Academy of Sciences of the PRC.
A spherical radio telescope with a 500-meter aperture, known as the FAST telescope, is located in the mountains of southern China's Guizhou province.
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are radio pulses of several milliseconds. Until now, scientists have no reasonable explanation for their nature.
