The article has a completely unrelated image, captioned A colorful deep space image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, as seen in a NASA handout from June 3, 2014.
There is no claim that the RFBs came from that area of space.
That "colorful" image is a Hubble image that is incredible in its own right. It is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2014.

The HUDF shows a small section of space in the southern-hemisphere constellation Fornax. Now, using ultraviolet light, astronomers have combined the full range of colors available to Hubble, stretching all the way from ultraviolet to near-infrared light. The resulting image – made from 841 orbits of telescope viewing time – contains approximately 10,000 galaxies, extending back in time to within a few hundred million years of the big bang.
