‘Blob-like’ home of farthest-known fast radio burst is collection of seven galaxies

In summer 2022, astronomers detected the most powerful and most distant fast radio burst (FRB) ever observed. Now, astronomers have pinpointed the extraordinary object’s birthplace — and it’s rather curious, indeed. Using images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the researchers traced the FRB back to not one galaxy but a group of at least seven galaxies.
