"NASA Telescopes Uncover Clues to Mysterious Radio Bursts"

NASA's NICER and NuSTAR telescopes observed a fast radio burst from the magnetar SGR 1935+2154, providing valuable data on the phenomenon. The burst occurred between two periods of rapid rotational rate increase, followed by a surprising rapid decrease. The increase in high-energy light before the burst led to the telescopes' orientation towards the magnetar. Scientists believe the burst was caused by material eruption from the magnetar's interior, but the exact mechanism behind fast radio bursts remains uncertain. The findings were published in the journal Nature, shedding light on the nature of these mysterious cosmic events.
