The signal, detected by the James Webb Space Telescope and MeerKAT array, is the most distant FRB ever found, doubling the previous distance record. This ancient signal provides insights into the early universe and its intergalactic matter.Why it mattersFast radio bursts are unexplained, energetic signals from space that have been detected in recent years. The record-breaking FRB provides a unique opportunity to study the universe's early s
