Astronomers traced the signal of a repeating fast radio burst for the second time and it's from a spiral galaxy just like ours. Fast radio bursts are millisecond-long bursts radio waves in space. Individual radio bursts don't repeat but these FRBs are different. This newly discovered repeating FRB has a different source from the first one found in 2019. It deepens the mystery of how these radio waves are created.
