Mysterious fast radio bursts traced to spiral galaxy arms
(CNN)Scientists have traced the locations of multiple mysterious fast radio bursts back to their origins with help from the Hubble Space Telescope -- and it's not what they expected.

Given how quick they flare, these bursts, sometimes called FRBs, are very difficult to track and study.Learning more about the origin of these bright, intense radio bursts could help scientists understand what causes them. An international team of astronomers was able to trace the locations of eight fast radio bursts. While the origins of three remain inconclusive, the researchers used Hubble's deep-space imaging to pinpoint the
