Many scientists and astrophysicists are studying a particular FRB (Fast Radio Bursts) which are coming from a very small galaxy over 3 billion light years away. This FRB known as 121102 was discovered in 2012. It has been studied by the Max Planck Institute in Germany as well as at many observatories around the world. This is a very strange FRB in that it is a repeater. These FRB's are not known to be repeating as this one is doing. Many are wondering why and how this is occurring especially on regular intervals.
Here is what many have summed up about this FRB. "But some of the authors also cautioned that the repeating nature of FRB 121102 could indicate that it is somehow physically different than other known FRB's. FRB 121102 is not alone. The researchers also found a persistent source of radio waves in the same area of the sky, and the evidence suggests that both sources of radio waves are connected somehow; they either arose from the same source or are linked in some other way, the researchers said. The results of these studies will appear in three separate papers on Jan. 5 — one in the journal Nature and two in The Astrophysical Journal Letters." This subject will continue to be studied in the years to come to try and come up with a feasible idea as to why this is occurring.

A Dangerous Visitor from Deep Space
On June 2, 2016, at 3:56 AM an asteroid 10 feet across came directly at the earth from behind Mars. The asteroid exploded just 70,000 feet above the surface of the earth over the desert region between Phoenix and Tuscon, Arizona. The explosion was recorded on seismic detectors and the flash was as bright as the mid-day sun. The asteroid was traveling at 42,200 MPH. The resulting explosion was equivalent to 10 Kilotons. That is roughly 2/3 the size of the Hiroshima, Japan atomic blast. The object was only milliseconds away from striking Tuscon. If this had exploded over a large populated area there would have been serious destruction and casualties.
When the asteroid exploded, local doppler radars picked up the debris falling to the surface. That means there are several pieces of meteorite material in the desert just north of Tuscon. An object like this was just a shot across the bow for some of the larger objects being found as of late are at least a mile wide. Pray one of those monsters doesn't come to the surface of the earth.
