Farthest Fast Radio Burst host galaxy spectrum
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope were able to study the host galaxy of the most distant known fast radio burst (FRB). By detecting light emitted from oxygen and nitrogen, they were able to determine the galaxy’s cosmological redshift, thereby confirming the FRB occurred just 3 billion years after the Big Bang.
