<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - Astronauts were recently able to observe the farthest fast radio burst observed so far. According to the British news agency PA Media, the international team detected an explosion of cosmic radio waves that lasted less than a millisecond.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The source of these waves was identified using the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory, and it turned out that it comes from a very distant galaxy, as it took the light of this galaxy eight billion years to reach Earth.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This radio burst was among the largest in terms of energy ever observed, releasing the equivalent of the Sun's total emissions over 30 years in a tiny fraction of a second.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Based on this discovery, the researchers indicated that fast radio bursts could be used to measure missing matter between galaxies, as they provide a new way to measure the mass of the universe.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><hr /><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Source: Agencies</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
