“Competing theories argued that FRBs might instead be generated much farther away in shock waves that propagate far from the central ... analogous to Earth’s atmosphere,” Nimmo tells Physics World.

but now they have sensed the chirping waves from much farther away: over 62,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) from Earth, where they’ve never been measured before. “That opens up a lot of new questions ...
