Astronomers have successfully identified the source of mysterious repeating cosmic signals using Australia's ASKAP radio telescope. The breakthrough reveals that the bursts come from a rare stellar pair where a white dwarf pulls material from a red dwarf companion, creating powerful radio waves every 1.4 hours. This discovery represents a major milestone in understanding the universe's most puzzling phenomena.
