Scientists pinpoint the source of an interstellar radio signal.

MIT scientists traced FRB 20221022A, a fast radio burst, to within 10,000 kilometers of a neutron star's surface. The findings support the theory that magnetars, a type of neutron star, are the source of some FRBs. The research utilized data from the CHIME telescope and a novel analysis method.
