Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American astronomer Duncan Lorimer (for whom the "Lorimer Burst" is named), these short, intense blasts of radio energy produce more power in a millisecond than the sun generates in a month.
