Such an event has only been reported once before, by a different telescope.
此前研究者用不同的望远镜也捕捉到过同样的电波。
"Knowing that there is another suggests that there could be more out there," said Ingrid Stairs, an astrophysicist from the University of British Columbia (UBC).
“第二次捕捉到重复电波,意味着我们还可能捕捉到更多,”不列颠哥伦比亚大学的天体物理学家英格丽·斯泰尔斯称。

"And with more repeaters and more sources available for study, we may be able to understand these cosmic puzzles - where they're from and what causes them."
“有了更多重复电波和更多可供研究的资源,我们也许能够解开这些宇宙的谜题:这些电波是从何而来,又是什么原因造成的。”
The CHIME observatory, located in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, consists of four 100-metre-long, semi-cylindrical antennas, which scan the entire northern sky each day.
捕捉到这一电波的是加拿大氢强度测绘实验射电望远镜。它位于不列颠哥伦比亚省奥卡诺根山谷,由4个100米长的半圆柱天线组成,每天都会对整个北部天空进行扫描。
The telescope only got up and running last year, detecting 13 of the radio bursts almost immediately, including the repeater.
