A fast radio burst (FRB) is a radio wave (that comes from other galaxies, and) that only last between a fraction of a millisecond and 3 seconds. Knowledge of those waves, belong to a part of astronomy, radio astronomy. There are different (ideas or) theories about the high-energy astrophysical process, that cause those waves.
A known FRB, is FRB 20190208A.[1]
History: A fast radio burst was discovered as early as 2007.[1]
