“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a mysterious flash of energy was released into the universe.

Astronomers have now detected that flash – a burst of radio waves which travelled for more than 10bn years before reaching Earth – what they believe to be the most distant fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded.”

“Data from the JWST indicated that the burst originated from a “young, very small galaxy which is forming stars at a very high speed, with not many metals around it”.

“The village of Ruswarp takes its unusual name from the Old English hrīs wearp, recorded as Risewarp in the 12th century and thought to mean “silted land overgrown with brushwood”. Like much of the Esk Valley, Ruswarp's history has long been shaped by the River Esk running through it.”
