Scientists Discover Fast Radio Burst From Quiescent Galaxy 11.3 Billion Light Years Away
Jan 22, 2025, 02:22 PM
Scientists have detected a fast radio burst (FRB) originating from an unexpected source, a dead galaxy located 11.3 billion light years away, challenging previous understandings of where these bursts might come from. The FRB was first observed in February 2024 and continued to emit pulses until July 2024, allowing researchers to pinpoint its location. The galaxy, estimated to be 11.3 billion years old, is described as quiescent, with no star formation activity. This discovery suggests that FRBs may originate from a more diverse range of cosmic environments than previously thought.
