"If we are right about such a high rate of FRBs happening at any given time, you can imagine the sky is filled with flashes like paparazzi taking photos of a celebrity,"  said lead researcher Anastasia Fialkov  of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "Instead of the light we can see with our eyes, these flashes come in radio waves." Most fast radio burst sources are only detected once.
