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.

Transients are a broad class of events, referring to observations where some measurable change occurs, typically in brightness, over relatively short timescales.

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.

With just a few weeks of observations, a revolutionary census of the observable Universe in radio wavelengths was conducted and a million new galaxies revealed.
