Astronomers detected FRB 20240304B, a fast radio burst emitted when the universe was about 3 billion years old. The signal travelled for more than 10 billion years to reach Earth and is believed to be the most distant FRB recorded. Researchers say such bursts can help measure matter otherwise invisible to telescopes.
