The origin of a mysterious celestial radio pulse has finally been pinpointed by astronomers and they say it came from a distant galaxy several billion light years away.

This is the first time ever that scientists have been able to find the exact location of a non-repeating fast radio burst (FRB) and it’s a step closer to finding out what produces them.

Some scientists have suggested that the bursts could be from rapidly rotating neuron stars but others think they are evidence of extraterrestrial life.

The Australian led international team of researchers used the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s (CSIRO) new radio telescope, based in Australia.

CSIRO lead author Dr. Keith Bannister said: “This is the big breakthrough that the field has been waiting for since astronomers discovered fast radio bursts in 2007.”

Since the first fast radio burst was discovered, 85 more similar bursts have been detected and most of them are a one-off but some occur repeatedly.
