They then gave the software 5 hours of recordings of activity from one part of the sky and found 72 previously unknown FRBs.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2018\/09\/14\/ai-finds-more-space-chatter\/\">https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2018\/09\/14\/ai-finds-more-space-chatter\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists don\u2019t know exactly what fast radio bursts (FRBs) are.
