Astronomers for the first time detect repeat fast radio bursts from same sky location

Astronomers for the first time have detected repeating short bursts of radio waves from an enigmatic source that is likely located well beyond the edge of our Milky Way galaxy.The findings indicate that these fast radio bursts come from an extremely powerful object which occasionally produces multiple bursts in under a minute.
