Recently, two ground-based radio telescopes detected a pulse of radio waves. And it was pretty intense. This event astonished astronomers because it was the first time a fast radio burst (FRB) had ever been detected so close to Earth.
But where does this signal come from? What caused this strange signal detected?

The first FRB was discovered in 2007, although it was actually observed some six years earlier, in archival data from a pulsar survey of the Magellanic Clouds. It was dubbed the “Lorimer Burst”.
Well, we must consider that magnetar is known to emit high energy electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays and X rays, the most powerful radiation in the universe.
Both of these erupt in short-lived flares. That's why magnetar is a good candidate for causing Fast radio bursts.
Also, this latest fast radio burst, which was dubbed FRB 200428, was found to have originated in the Vulpecula constellation, which....guess what?
Happens to be hosting the magnetar SGR 1935+2154.
The first detection of X-rays from that sky region came the day before CHIME and STARE2
