Record ‘radio bursts’ detected from space

Australian researchers on Thursday said they have detected a record number of radio waves from space, including the closest and fastest one that may help understand the matter between galaxies. They said they found 20 fast radio bursts in a year, almost doubling the number detected worldwide since they were discovered in 2007.IANS
