A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought could produce such a signal.

Unusual detection bolsters evidence that the mysterious signals can be caused by different astrophysical events.

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon may originate in diverse ways.

Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs)—emanating from somewhere in the northern constellation Ursa Minor.

Fresh research has indicated that astronomers have discovered fast radio bursts (FRBs) emanating from a far-distant ‘dead’ galaxy

Researchers Intrigued by Mysterious Fast Radio Burst Originating From Ancient Galaxy Researchers have been observing fast radio bursts in space for years and continue to be intrigued by them because of the huge energy they release.

Scientists discovered a new fast radio burst named FRB 20240209A. This FRB originated from an old galaxy 11.3 billion years old, challenging previous beliefs that such bursts come from young active galaxies.
