Fast Radio Burst Discovered in Outskirts of Ancient, Dead Galaxy

Astronomers have traced a fast radio burst, dubbed FRB 20240209A, to an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy, marking a first in astronomical research.
The FRB was detected in February 2024 and is located 2 billion light-years from Earth in a galaxy that is 11.3 billion years old.
The discovery challenges the belief that FRBs originate from active star formation regions, as this FRB is found 130,000 light-years from its galaxy's center.
Vishwangi Shah stated, 'This is both surprising and exciting, as FRBs are expected to originate inside galaxies, often in star-forming regions.
