Astronomers have traced a mysterious fast radio burst to an unexpected place — an ancient, massive galaxy far removed from active star formation. This revelation shakes up the conventional wisdom that such cosmic phenomena exclusively arise from younger,

Instead of finding the radio burst in a region of young stars, researchers traced its origin to the outskirts of a “dead” elliptical galaxy.

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

Scientists led by Northwestern University and McGill University have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the edges of an ancient elliptical galaxy. Scientists had previously thought that these quick radio blasts,

Astronomers have observed over a thousand of them to date; some come from sources that repeatedly emit FRBs, while others seem to burst once and go silent. You can produce this sort of sudden surge of energy by destroying something.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) continue to baffle astronomers, and a new discovery has added another layer of complexity to this enigmatic phenomenon. According to a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters,
