Fast radio bursts (FRBs) have confounded scientists for over a decade.

They're so powerful that they can release as much energy in a millisecond as the Sun puts out in three days .

A new theory suggests the bursts could be caused by asteroids slamming into neutron stars.

One collision could occur every 10 million years per neutron star, which is consistent with the observed rate of FRBs.
