Astronomers discover repeating radio bursts from distant ‘dead’ galaxy

Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts (FRBs) from a distant “dead” galaxy, which should not have the energy to produce these signals.

Traditionally, FRBs are linked to young, magnetized neutron stars in active star-forming regions, but the galaxy in question contains only old stars.

The bursts, named FRB 20240209A, were detected using the CHIME telescope and pinpointed using the Gemini North telescope.

The source is located about 2 billion light-years away in an ancient elliptical galaxy, ABC News has reported.
