Good morning everyone. I hope your all having a good day/night. I’m not feeling the best today but I will be alright. Please always be kind to one another and I hope you have a positive day.
Today we are gonna be talking about Perytons.
Perytons are artificial radio signals that last a few milliseconds and resemble astrophysical fast radio bursts (FRBs). They were first detected at Parkes Observatory in
1998. Curiously, the signals
appeared only during lunchtime. It was later found out that they were produced by the pre-mature opening of a nearby microwave oven. Despite their terrestrial origin, Perytons played a crucial role in the discovery and understanding of true FRBs with an extragalactic origin.
By distinguishing Perytons
from genuine cosmic signals, researchers were able to refine their detection methods and eventually pinpointed real fast radio bursts in the cosmos.
