Powerful signals are being beamed in Earth's direction from deep space at an unprecedented rate.

According to scientists, a repeating fast radio burst source discovered last year was recorded firing more than 1,800 bursts our way within the space of two months.

Named FRB 20201124A, the object was detected using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in China.

It was described in a paper led by astronomer Heng Xu of Peking University in China.
