Scientists led by Northwestern University and McGill University have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the edges of an ancient elliptical galaxy.

The old galaxy in question is 11.3 billion years old, and 2 billion lightyears away from us.

The location of this FRB so far outside its host galaxy raises questions as to how such energetic events can occur in regions where no new stars are forming.
