>Ply Them With Starbursts Edition
noice, unable to bake today until later (here but not for long enough to bake)
thank you as always baker

for now
from what I've read there is still an investigation into the death of those two men
some digging shows this isn't that wild:
AI detects 72 fast radio bursts from a distant, unknown source
>72!
The problem with getting any concrete answers, though, is that the vast majority of FRBs are singular in nature, and only emit one unprompted blast. But for some unknown reason, FRB 121102 continues to shoot out radio waves from a galaxy 3 billion light years from Earth.

I think that's from the ongoing star formation around it, could be wrong
don't know as much about radio astronomy
>so are these going faster than the speed of light?
no
all electromagnetic waves (light), including visible light, travel at the speed of light
and this galaxy isn't that far, it's 1.5 billion LIGHT YEARS away
that literally means that signal was traveling for 1.5 billion years to get here
yup, or shit

light year is distance, yes
so, because that signal traveled 1.5 billion light years, it took 1.5 billion years to get here
because it's 99% of the time not a "more down to earth reason"
This is actually a very notable detection:
Canada's CHIME telescope detects second repeating fast radio burst
Of the more than 60 FRBs observed to date, repeating bursts from a single source had been found only once before – a discovery made by the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico in 2015.
"Until now, there was only one known repeating FRB. Knowing that there is another suggests that there could be more out there. And with more repeaters and more sources available for study, we may be able to understand these cosmic puzzles – where they're from and what causes them," said Ingrid Stairs, a member of the CHIME team and an astrophysicist at UBC.
Before CHIME began to gather data, some scientists wondered if the range of radio frequencies the telescope had been designed to detect would be too low to pick up fast radio bursts. Most of the FRBs previously detected had been found at frequencies near 1400 MHz, well above the Canadian telescope's range of 400 MHz to 800 MHz.
The CHIME team's results – published January 9 in two papers in Nature and presented the same day at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle – settled these doubts, with the majority of the 13 bursts being recorded well down to the lowest frequencies in CHIME's range. In some of the 13 cases, the signal at the lower end of the band was so bright that it seems likely other FRBs will be detected at frequencies even lower than CHIME's minimum of 400 MHz.
FRB sources likely to be in 'special places' within galaxies
The majority of the 13 FRBs detected showed signs of "scattering," a phenomenon that reveals information about the environment surrounding a source of radio waves. The amount of scattering observed by the CHIME team led them to conclude that the sources of FRBs are powerful astrophysical objects more likely to be in locations with special characteristics.
"That could mean in some sort of dense clump like a supernova remnant," says team member Cherry Ng, an astronomer at the University of Toronto. "Or near the central black hole in a galaxy. But it has to be in some special place to give us all the scattering that we see."

>Example for a mason shill baker backed up by mason BO
I was posting the pics of Washington as a mason to show an anon those pics
seriously go fuck your delusional self, I put masonry digs into notables, I dig on them myself, and I am not a mason you stupid kike
I'm not a "mason shill baker" nor is the BO a mason you fucking faggot
>triggeredly spams all day unprompted
KEK, you do nothing but project.
You're useless, unwanted, irrelevant, and pathetic.
Just remember that the next time you spam this board with your delusional bullshit.
I think you are legitimately crazy, and I feel bad for you.
