Hubble Telescope finds surprising source of brightest fast radio burst ever

Deep-sky image of dozens of distant galaxies captured by the hubble space telescope.

The brightest fast radio burst ever observed emerged from a group of ancient galaxies that appear to be merging, observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed. 

The finding surprised astronomers, as the vast majority of known fast radio bursts (FRBs) has come from single galaxies much closer to Earth.
