The spinning space object, spotted in March 2018, beamed out radiation three times per hour. In those moments, it became the brightest source of radio waves viewable from Earth, acting like a celestia
Astronomers scanning the cosmic melee for radio waves recently spotted a "strange object" that gives off regular bursts of energy. Experts from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) noticed that this object lets out powerful burst three times per hour.
Radio telescopes are detecting more mysterious signals. They switch on and off and don't match any type of star, or dead star, known to science.
The brightest radio sources are supermassive black holes flaring huge jets of matter into space at nearly the speed of light. What had we found that could possibly be brighter than that?
The object could be a type of dead star with a strong magnetic field.
