First solid link found for mysterious fast radio bursts
A dim dwarf galaxy 2.5 billion light years away emits millisecond bursts of radio waves. Researchers pinpoint FRB 121102 to a precise sky spot using the VLA and Arecibo data, with Gemini observations locating its source in a faint dwarf galaxy. Magnetar activity is a leading explanation, though not definitive.
