Since the first fast radio burst (FRB) was discovered in 2007, astronomers have detected thousands of FRBs, whose locations range from within our own galaxy to as far as 8 billion light-years away.

But new FRB is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old galaxy without young, active stars — calling those assumptions into question. “Just when you think you understand an ...

The FRB in the new study was first spotted in February 2024. It continued to pulse through July 2024, which helped researchers to find its position in the sky. Once that was done, ...

In a second study of the same FRB published in Nature on January 2, lead researcher Kenzie Nimmo of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provided additional support for the neutron-star ...
