Guide To Space - What Are Fast Radio Bursts? A Big Mystery in Astronomy
Wednesday, 15 July, 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikdOTj6g_Zw Hosted by Fraser Cain. From Apr 26, 2017. Here's a big mystery in astronomy: fast radio bursts. Brief shrieks of radio waves coming from space. What are they? Where do they come from? Astronomers have no idea. Team: Fraser Cain - @fcain / frasercain@gmail.com Karla Thompson - @karlaii Chad Weber - weber.chad@gmail.com You might think you're watching an educational channel, where I explain fascinating concepts in space and astronomy, but that's not really what's going on here. What's actually happening is that you're tagging along as I learn more and more about new and cool things happening in the Universe. I dig into them like a badger hiding a cow carcass, and we all get to enjoy the cache of knowledge I uncover. Okay, that analogy got a little weird. Anyway, my point is. Squirrel! Fast radio bursts are the new cosmic whatzits confusing and baffling astronomers, and now we get to take a front seat and watch them move through all stages of process of discovery.
