Thanks to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have tracked down the origins of several mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBS) to five distant galaxies. The researchers were able to find the FRBs, thanks to the ultraviolet and near-infrared light spotted by the Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3. Our study fits in with that picture and rules out either very young or very old progenitors for FRBs.' At present, scientists still do not know how frequently FRBs appear and why some repeat and others don't. Nearly 1,000 FRBs have been discovered since the first one was spotted by the Parkes radio observatory in July 2001.
