Once considered “hostless,” the explosion now appears to have originated in a distant, faint galaxy, potentially resolving long-standing contradictions about its distance and physical properties. A final spectroscopic confirmation could close the case. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
