With the help of India's Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), astronomers have captured a radio signal from the most distant galaxy. The signal, captured at a specific wavelength known as the "21-centimeter line," was emitted when the universe was 4.9 billion years old. Notably, this marks the first time that this type of radio signal has been detected from such a vast distance.
