A digitally reprocessed Hubble image of a galaxy hosting a Fast Radio Burst (FRB). The oval region marks the area where the emission originated. Only a few FRBs repeat, making the identification of the source extremely challenging. A small number do repeat, however, and four host galaxies (like the one shown) have been spotted. Astronomers have recently identified and studied a fifth - the modestly star-forming galaxy host of a recently discovered FRB.
