Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can emit the same energy it would take the sun three days to radiate.

These powerful blasts of energy can outshine entire galaxies.

An FRB can erupt up to 8 billion light-years away, and some are so close that they occur within the Milky Way.

Neutron stars are stellar remnants created when massive stars die and their cores squash down to a width of around 12 miles .

FRB 20221022A seems to rule out the possibility that FRBs emerge from shockwaves hitting magnetars.

The team hope their scintillating technique can now be applied to other FRBs.

"These bursts are always happening, and CHIME detects several a day ," Masui said.
