fast radio burst

Scientists now estimate that half of all sun-like stars have Earth-like planets, now we hope they've had similar evolutionary paths and have complex life on them. Lunar's twin - astronomers now believe an asteroid hiding behind Mars and first found more than 20 years ago, is a long lost relative of our moon. And snagging a magnetar, a super dense neutron star, during a recent fast radio burst... how they did it may surprise you.

New research out this week points to bacteria being able to survive the trip to Mars, and back plus the elements for building water may have been on Earth this whole time - not brought in by other meteorites. We're Talkin' Science.

Fast Radio Bursts are a relatively new discovery on the astronomical scene, first detected in 2007. Astronomers originally believed they burst out from the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies - but new measurements indicate that's not the case...
