The orderly flow of radio waves from a mysterious place in space that reaches the Earth with fixed dates has caused a great debate in the global scientific community over its causes and sources.

A recent study revealed that the radio burst cycle that Earth receives every 157 days, regularly, is coming from the same place in far space.
The researchers pointed out that these radio waves are very short (FRB), but they are very strong pulses, as they were first discovered in 2007.
According to “space” Science Specialized Space, since the discovery of these waves raised many questions about its source, where some considered that it could be a message from a “strange civilization” trying to contact the planet.
Researchers from the University of “Manchester” in Britain studied the data recorded by observatories and telescopes in the observatories of the “Lovell” telescope in an attempt to understand these unusual signals.
For a period of 4 years, astronomers have observed these radio bursts by means of the telescope, called the code “FRB 121102”.
The researchers discovered that these short waves are different in nature from about 100 other waves Discovered until today, As it broadcasts for 90 continuous days, and disappears for the next 67 days, before the cycle is repeated again.
“We expect that the source is (closed) at the moment and that it should return to broadcasts before August 28,” the research team wrote in a newly published scientific paper.
The team noted that the stability of these signals and their regular transmission helped the team exclude some of the origins of this mysterious astronomical phenomenon.
The authors write: “The discovery that the repetition of at least some rapid radio explosions (FRBs) has excluded catastrophic events such as cosmic explosions.”
According to astronomers, most of these explosions only occur once and are never seen again, which makes it impossible to predict.
The researchers noted that there is a regular sequence in the activity of the burst or wave That could mean bursts The force associated with the widespread cosmic phenomenon is continuously operating, it could for example be related to the orbital motion of a massive star or neutron star in a binary system or black hole, or caused by a wobble in the spindle of a very magnetic neutron star.
When the first radio wave was discovered in 2007, some believed it was a one-time specific event linked to a massive star explosion, but the phenomenon was repeated in 2012 and 2016, which raised many questions.
