For the second time ever, astronomers have detected a pattern in a mysterious fast radio burst coming from space. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are millisecond-long bursts of radio waves in space, and astronomers have been able to trace some radio bursts back to their home galaxies. Repeating fast radio bursts are known to send out short, energetic radio waves multiple times. The pattern repeat itself every 157 days.
