Unraveling the Mystery of Fast Radio Bursts in Nearby Galaxies.

Astronomers using the upgraded Westerbork telescope have discovered five new Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), with three of them piercing our neighboring Triangulum galaxy. The telescope's sharp images allowed the astronomers to estimate the maximum number of invisible atoms in the galaxy for the first time. FRBs are among the brightest explosions in the universe, emitting immense amounts of energy, and are believed to be emitted by neutron stars. The discovery of FRBs is important in understanding the fundamental properties of the universe's matter.
