Using the astronomy equivalent of a live action replay, an Australian team have tracked the source of a one-off fast radio burst to a galaxy 3.6 billion light years away. This scientific article demonstrates the importance of technology in science and Australia’s contribution to science understanding. It would be well suited to Earth and Space, Physical and Chemical Sciences for years 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and Senior Sciences.
