Heartbeat-like radio signals detected billions of light years away

A strange burst of radio signals has been detected by astronomers, who believe the signals sound similar to a heartbeat-like pattern, according to a report by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) News. The signal also reportedly originated from a far away galaxy billions of light years away from Earth. These kinds of radio signal bursts are called FRBs or Fast Radio Bursts. They usually last for a few milliseconds but in this case, the FRB signal was reported to be about three second long, making them much longer than the usual length; about a thousand times, notes the report.
