Mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) originating from deep space may be repeat offenders rather than one-off events, new research using Canadian facilities suggest.

Canada was all over the solar system – and even peering beyond its borders – in 2020. Canadian technology helped a spacecraft touch down on a comet, and was named to hunt for exoplanets on a future NASA telescope. Canadian researchers were also busy with space science studies, and companies continued to win contracts amid a tough economic environment due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. …

The unique wide-field view of a Canadian observatory allowed a large team to pinpoint a possible source of a mysterious "fast radio burst" (FRB) in our Milky Way. This page is for subscribers only.

Japan has given its approval for the LiteBird space telescope, a mission to detect primordial gravitational waves of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

McGill University researchers announced yesterday that a Canadian-led team of scientists has found a second repeating fast radio burst (FRB). 

The only known repeating Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) have only become more interesting by giving astronomers more clues about their home.

Sometimes, ‘it takes a whole village to raise a child’, in this case, it takes most of Canada’s radio astronomer community to build a telescope.
