A faint, distant galaxy called G2 now appears to be its long-missing host, potentially resolving years of contradictions about the burst’s origin and properties. Final confirmation awaits spectroscopic observations—but the discovery shows how modern telescopes can reveal cosmic sources that remained invisible for decades.
