Cosmic Mystery: Brightest FRB Ever Seen Doesn’t Repeat, Baffling Astronomers ***The brightest cosmic radio flash ever seen has been traced to a nearby galaxy, offering the clearest view yet of one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries.***   An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the University of Toronto, has detected the most luminous Fast Radio Burst (FRB) ever recorded. By combining data from a network of radio telescopes, the scientists successfully pinpointed the burst’s exact location in a nearby galaxy. FRBs are among the most puzzling phenomena in astrophysics, but being able to precisely trace their origins marks a major step forward in understanding where and how these cosmic flashes are produced.

"This idea's been around for 50 years, but it's been very difficult to test because inner speech is inherently private," says Thomas Whitford, a psychology researcher at the University of New South Wales.
