A Fast Radio Burst (FRB) was detected from a Magnetar in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Magnetar that underwent a series of eruptions in April 2020, producing the FRB. Fast Radio Bursts have been puzzling astronomers since they were first discovered in 2007. Neutron stars and pulsars had long been candidates, but it wasn't until the magnetar SGR 1935 underwent a starquake that a Fast Radio Burst was detected in our Galaxy.
