Scientists have traced a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) to the edge of an ancient galaxy where star formation has drastically dropped. Researchers are struggling to explain what caused it.

New results from the CHIME telescope support the hypothesis that fast radio bursts originate in close proximity to the turbulent magnetosphere of a central engine.
