Mysterious flashes of radio waves from space might be caused by interstellar asteroids and comets crashing into neutron stars.<\/p>\n

Astronomers detected the first fast radio burst<\/a> (FRB) in 2007, and several thousand have since been found<\/a>. They are thought to come from neutron stars, the ultra-dense cores left behind after some stars explode as supernovae, but exactly what causes them is unclear.<\/p>\n

The favoured explanation for FRBs is that they\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
