Another sensationalist headline from Vice.

This is the first known periodic fast radio burst source, and that's cool, but it's not sending signals "to Earth".



Yeah! Though the title got me to read the article out of interest, so it worked?

Scientists: due to alignment of unknown/ crazy factors, we can detect evenly spaced radio waves coming from a nearby galaxy.

Vice: aliens are sending us frequent messages :)


Ok, we've replaced the headline with a substring of the subtitle.


I mean, technically it is sending signals to earth, just not in the way this headline suggests.
