Scientists have detected a mysterious signal from deep space that has left them astonished. This cosmic object, named ASKAP J1832-0911, is located about 15,000 light-years away from Earth and emits continuous radio waves and X-rays for two minutes every 44 minutes.
The radio signals were initially detected by Australia’s ASKAP telescope, and coincidentally, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory was also monitoring the same region, capturing X-rays from this enigmatic object.
This is the first time that one of the so-called Long-Period Transients (LPTs) has been observed to emit both radio and X-ray pulses simultaneously.
Scientists say this phenomenon is unlike anything they’ve encountered before, hinting at an entirely new class of cosmic object — or possibly even a new branch of physics.
LPTs were first discovered in 2022, and since then, researchers have identified ten of these peculiar objects. They consistently release bursts of radio waves at intervals lasting minutes or even hours.
This discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the universe and challenges existing theories about how such cosmic phenomena are formed.
