Astronomers discover mystery radio signal in deep space

Aliens? A black hole? A Canadian telescope has stumbled upon FRB 180916.J0158+65 coming from a spiral galaxy 500 million light-years away. The signal is repeating every 16.35 days with a similar pattern of hourly "bursts" for four days followed by 12 days of silence, according to the SETI Institute.
