Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are extraordinary events that generate as much energy in a thousandth of a second as the Sun does in an entire year!

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have traced the locations of five brief, powerful FRBs, which are near or on their host galaxies' spiral arms. The research helped rule out some of the possible stellar objects originally thought to cause these brilliant flares.
