Cosmic Radio Bursts!

No, No, No...I've not had an appendix rupture, or anything remotely like that, but, seeing as the name of my band is Cosmic Radio, and that's also the pen name I signed up with here initially, I just had to check out this tidbit in the news!


Apparently, 15 strange new Cosmic Radio bursts have been observed in space. Also called fast radio bursts (FRBs), the flashes are strong radio signals that originate from far out in space, last just milliseconds, and then disappear.


Some scientists believe they are related to massive black holes.


Then there are the alien theorists!


Only a couple dozen of these Cosmic Bursts have ever been observed, and only one of those has ever repeated its signal: FRB 121102, which comes from a dwarf galaxy 3 billion light years away from Earth. (That's farther away than WLS-Chicago was from me, back in the day, when I was amazed to hear it coming in so clearly on my little bedside transistor radio, two whole hours south of the Windy City!)


The Breakthrough Listen Initiative has invested $100 million dollars in a search for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and they recently detected 15 additional signals from FRB 121102!


The signals were at higher frequencies than any FRB previously heard.


Is ET cranking up the juice at his interstellar radio station?



Harvard University's Avi Loeb says the frequencies are "twice as high as the typical frequency that was previously claimed for this repeater."


This should make repeating FRB's easier to detect, although scientists have yet to come up with a good explanation of exactly what's going on.


This could open up a whole new Affiliate marketplace!

Clowns, aliens, cosmic bursts! Wheewww! This sounds like something ToliNoli will get hold of! ;-) in a Galaxy Far, Far Away!

What niche would you suggest for this Rick?

Strange stuff...I like it, Cindy! :)

Indeed!

Thank you for the info and suggestion

You're welcome, Pablo!

WLS in Chicago!!! I saw Dick Biondi a couple of years ago at Navy Pier Concert featuring the band "Chicago". What a fun time. Of course the transistors were given to us by the aliens right?

Could be, Darleen! :)

It's for a reason that your band is Cosmic Radio- you seem to accept signals coming from the universe!:)))

I think I do sometimes, Vera! :)))

Good evening Rick,

Nice to see you again as I thought you had been abducted.
Oh, I love news like this, that is my thing.
Let them come and enlighten us as we are in urgent need. Also, some fresh blood would do us good as our blood is getting thick.
I hope you saw my photos on your Raining Diamonds post.

Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

Hi Taetske-Thanks for alerting me to the photos, as I had not seen them yet. I had The Sue today, and was quite busy. Great photos! I like news like this also...strange and wonderful! :)

If a black hole is sending out signals, maybe it isn't a hole. I'm on the ET bandwagon! Always fun to read your posts.
Debbie

Thanks, Debbie...ET...where are you? :)

Rick - Interesting post. It would be great to be able to tune in to some new interstellar sounds here on Earth. I bet they would hit the top of the charts in no time. Thanks for sharing.

For sure an actual Alien tune would soar to the top of the charts, Patrick!

LOL, Rick, that would be interesting :))

Very. :)

Most interesting rick.The Ferengi should be Interested in this!

I've already sent the memo, Mike.

Veeerrry interesting!

Thanks, Anne! :)
