Bursts of energy are coming from billions of light-years from Earth

A mysterious object billions of light-years from Earth is shooting out strong bursts of energy in a pattern that is similar to a heartbeat.

A team of Astronomers, led by the Institute of Technology (MIT), picked up what is formally known as fast radio bursts (FRB), which are intense radio waves that typically last for a few milliseconds.

The newly detected FRB, however, persists for up to three seconds – about 1,000 times longer than the average.
