Astronomers have discovered a strange new being on our way to the Milky Way.
An international team informed on Wednesday that this heavenly object-perhaps a star, star, or anything else-is emitted by X-rays at the same time as the radio waves. What is more, the course is repeated every 44 minutes, at least during periods of extremist activity.
X -rays and radio waves are two different types of electromagnetic radiation. The relationship in the patterns of its emissions in this case, in addition to other mysterious observations, led to the discrimination of the authors of the study what they found as “unlike any known Hungarian being.”
“This object has been identified 15,000 light years in a stars -full of Milky Way, gas and dust, and this object may be a dead star magnetic such as neutron or white dwarf.

The Chandra X -NASA Observatory monitored X -ray emissions by chance last year with a focus on Supernova’s remains, or the remains of an explosion star. Wang said it was the first time that the X -ray was seen coming from the so -called long -term radio, a rare object that passes through radio signals for ten minutes.

Given the inexhaustible distance, astronomers cannot know whether or not the strange organism is associated with the remains of Supernova or not. One light year is 5.8 trillion miles.
It seems that the excessive active stage of this object – the appointed Askap J1832−01 – was about a month. Outside that period, the star did not emit any noticeable X -ray. Scientists said that this may mean that more of these things may be present.
“Although our discovery is not yet solved the mystery of these things and may deepen them, her study brings us closer to two possibilities,” Wang said. “Either we discover something completely new, or we see a known type of object emitting from radio waves and X -rays in a way that he has not noticed before.”
Chandra was launched in 1999, revolving around tens of thousands of miles above Earth, noting some of the most hot and high -energy things in the universe.
It is the most powerful X -ray telescope in the world, according to NASA. A a description The telescope on the space agency website notes that its purpose is to allow scientists all over the world to obtain x -ray images of remote environments, in the hope that “the pictures may help them to understand the structure and development of the universe.”
