15,000 Light-Years Away, Something Is Blinking – And It Might Rewrite Physics
An international team of astronomers has detected a bizarre cosmic object that pulses with both radio waves and X-rays—something never seen before. Known as ASKAP J1832-0911, this “long-period transient” flashes every 44 minutes and could unveil entirely new physics or models of stellar life cycles.What’s even more incredible is the chance overlap between two telescopes, on opposite sides of the Earth, catching it in the act, suggesting that many more such strange objects could be waiting to be found.
