FRB 20240209A has been traced back to the "cosmic graveyard" of a massive "dead" galaxy.

The source of this FRB originated from the edge of an 11.3-billion -year-old galaxy.

FRBs are usually attributed to supernova deaths of massive young stars in younger galaxies experiencing bouts of star formation.

This FRB-producing events may be more diverse than previously thought.

Around 100 FRBs have been linked to a galactic host, and most have been connected to a magnetar.

The prevailing theory is that FRBs come from magnetars formed through core-collapse supernovae.

The researchers believe that just like FRB 20200120E , it may have come from a globular cluster.

This is significant because globular clusters are associated with events associated with older stars.
