Default Radio Burst from Space Mystifies Astronomers

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Astronomers who stumbled upon a powerful burst
of radio waves said on Thursday they had never seen anything like it
before, and it could offer a new way to search for colliding stars or
dying black holes.

"This burst appears to have originated from the distant universe and
may have been produced by an exotic event such as the collision of two
neutron stars or the death throes of an evaporating black hole," said
Duncan Lorimer of West Virginia University and the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory."
