For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much ...

Elliptical galaxies are shaped roughly like watermelons ... we can estimate that there are about 50 billion galaxies in the universe. The 3-D model below will show you the structure of about ...

Researchers have observed that elliptical galaxies can act as lenses ... The astronomers then created a computer model to confirm that the observation was indeed a compound lens.

From one billion to three billion years after the big bang many smaller galaxies merged into larger ones, forming an array of shapes resembling spirals and spheres (known as elliptical galaxies).

These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. FILE - This image provided by ...

The signal has been linked to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy. This presents an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.
