Astronomers have discovered "mysterious signals" coming from a galaxy far away taken by a giant astronomical observatory in Canada, according to a recent scientific study.
Scientists believe that the nature of these astronomical signals and the origin of the radio wave impulses are still unknown, but they claim that their source is a galaxy far away, according to the study published in the journal Nature.
Of the 13 radio waves, known as the "fast radio flux", there was an unusual double signal from the same source 1.5 billion light years ago. reported Sky News.
Scientists have said that this happened only once before, and monitored by another astronomical observatory, according to the BBC.
The observatory that captured this mysterious spatial signal is the Chaime Observatory of the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia (Canada), consisting of four semicircular antennas with a length of 100 meters, which makes it possible to observe daily the whole sky.
"We have discovered a second signal and its characteristics are very similar to those of the first signal," said Krishar Tindulkar, a professor of astronomy at McGill University in Canada. "It tells us more about the characteristics of repeated signals."
It should be noted that astronomers have discovered up to 60 fast radio streams, including two repeated ones.
Scientists believe that there can be about 1,000 fast radio flashes in the space every day.
Scientists have advanced a number of theories about its cause, including the existence of a neutron star with a very powerful magnetic field spinning at itself at incredible speed.
Another theory is that there are two neutron stars combined, while a third theory, which few scientists believe, is that its source can be a spacecraft.
