Machine-written summary, checked against the sources below
Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers pinpointed the host galaxy of the most distant fast radio burst found so far. Fast radio bursts are millisecond-long flashes of radio emission first discovered in 2007, and their origin remains uncertain since most are seen only once.
First discovered in 2007, fast radio bursts are enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio emission from the distant universe. Their origin remains uncertain, particularly since most are seen once and never again. Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have pinpointed the host galaxy of the most distant fast radio burst (FRB) seen to date. Their […]
