b. Sounds emanating from deep space
c. Bursts were singular events
d. Both a and b
e. None of the above

ANSWER: Both a and b
 
Scientists have heard a long, repeated sound deep from within space and this 10 millisecond long fast radio bust is an example of a mysterious radio wave coming from outside the galaxy. Previously, these bursts were thought to be singular events yet a new study found that these sources send out messages which are repeated. This FRBs are coming from far away indicating they are likely neutron stars within other galaxies
