About FRB 20220610A
The light we see from it set out 8 billion years ago, when the universe was 5.79 billion years old (redshift 1.016).
The map lists it as an explosion or burst and shows it at the scale of the large-scale universe, drawn on the supergalactic plane.
A fast radio burst from 8 billion years ago (Ryder et al. 2023), held the distance record until FRB 20240304B.

From Wikipedia
In radio astronomy, a fast radio burst (FRB) is a transient radio wave of duration ranging from a fraction of a millisecond, for an ultra-fast radio burst, to 3 seconds, caused by a high-energy astrophysical process that is not yet understood.
