MeerKAT and the James Webb Space Telescope have traced a fast radio burst back to redshift 2.148, when the Universe was only three billion years old, roughly doubling the distance record for a localised burst. We also cover a new study splitting the galaxy's planetary systems into two distinct families shaped by their host stars, the first genuinely green star ever identified, and a radio phoenix found hiding behind the plane of the Milky Way.

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope has made yet another fascinating discovery: an unmatched radio signal near the centre of our galaxy.
