Astronomers Determine the Exact Location of One-Off Burst of Cosmic Radio Waves

For the first time, the exact location of a powerful one-off burst of cosmic radio waves has been established by an Australian-led international team of astronomers. This breakthrough finding was made with CSIRO’s latest Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope installed in Western Australia.
