Using a new type of algorithm, observations with the CHIME radio telescope in Canada have revealed evidence of 25 new repeating cosmic signals FRBs in data taken between 2019 and 2021. Like the gravitational waves (GW) and the gamma ray bursts (GRB), the fast radio bursts (FRB) are one of the most powerful and mysterious astronomical phenomena today. These transient phenomena consist of bursts that emit more energy in a millisecond than the Sun in three days. Although most explosions last only milliseconds, there have…

Comets have always fascinated humanity and remind us that we cannot live outside of our cosmic environment. During the last nights of January in the northern hemisphere and the first nights of February in the southern hemisphere, we have the opportunity to observe a comet from the depths of the Solar System, cataloged as C/2022 E3. It is a new comet, never before observed or, at least, in our written history. ZTF, popularly known as the "green kite", has noticed its luminosity. We've been tracking him for months. It was discovered almost a year in advance by astronomers. Bryce Bolin…
