Kovi Rose, a doctoral researcher at the University of Sydney, led an international team that discovered what researchers are calling a “Rosetta stone” for these mysterious signals. Just as the original Rosetta Stone unlocked the meaning of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, this newly identified star system may finally give astronomers a key for interpreting one of the stranger unsolved problems in modern astronomy.

“For the first time we have pinpointed the origin of these signals, confirming the source to be a ‘cataclysmic variable’, or an accreting white dwarf star,” Rose said in a statement.

I wonder if they didn't go a bit too far with the analogy here.

It had me in the wrong trail

So... If I'm understanding correctly... They didn't find a Rosetta Stone. They found the origin of the signals... They found a direction, not a decoding map.

Yeah, I’m struggling to understand the Rosetta Stone analogy as well.

Yeah... Maybe a generous interpretation would be they found what they hope to be the Rosetta Stone for the signals but that's as yet unconfirmed.
