Astronomers have detected an intense flash of radio waves coming from what looks like a merger of galaxies dating to about 8 billion years ago - the oldest-known instance of a phenomenon called a fast radio burst that continues to defy explanation. This burst in less than a millisecond unleashed the amount of energy our sun emits in three decades, researchers said. It was detected using the Australian SKA Pathfinder, a radio telescope in the state of Western Australia.

Several galaxies merged nearly 8 billion years ago. The energy they released was picked up by Australian space telescopes in June 2022.

A radio signal sent from deep space eight billion years ago is the oldest and most distant ever detected – leaving scientists baffled...

The Earth has been hit by a powerful blast of energy from the very depths of the universe. The fast radio burst is the most distant of its kind of ever seen, coming from so far away that it has travelled eight billion years to get to Earth. Fast radio bursts are intense, short bursts of energy that come from unknown but extreme activity in space.
