Webb Measures Distance to Farthest Fast Radio Burst
Original: Webb Measures Distance to Farthest Fast Radio Burst, Suggesting Origin
NASA reports that the James Webb Space Telescope has measured the distance to the farthest fast radio burst ever detected, a brief, powerful flash of radio waves from deep space. The observation also points to a likely origin for the burst, helping astronomers narrow down what kinds of cosmic events produce these mysterious signals.
Why now: A new NASA finding sheds light on the origin of mysterious fast radio bursts, a major open question in astronomy.
