Astronomers detect most distant fast radio burst from dwarf galaxy
A post says MeerKAT detected FRB 20240304B in 2024, and JWST traced it to a small, star-forming dwarf galaxy.
TLDR
One post identifies FRB 20240304B as the most distant fast radio burst detected, saying MeerKAT caught it in 2024 after a roughly 10-billion-year journey. Another says astronomers expected a massive host, but JWST found a tiny dwarf galaxy. The burst’s exact source remains unknown; both posts point to a magnetar as a possibility. The second says the signal helped reveal structures along its route through space.
