Astronomers are dialed in for this discovery.
Researchers for the first time have tracked a pulsing radio signal in space back to its original source — deep in our Milky Way galaxy., explained that the red dwarf was likely in orbit with another star, a white dwarf, which had its core explode a very long time ago.identifies the slowest ever radio burst of its kind, which releases minute-long pulses about once every three hours. It is named GLEAM-X J0704-37.
Michelangelo painted secret figure in Sistine Chapel masterpiece, art expert claims: 'I am firmly convinced'Statue discovered at Cleopatra's alleged tomb reveals her true face, scientist claims As to how a red and white dwarf could create such a signal, it is similar to the nature of our own solar system, according to Walker.
She compared it to how solar winds interact with the Earth’s magnetic fields to create the northern lights and low-frequency radio waves.“On the other hand, there may be many different kinds of systems that can produce long-period radio pulsations,” Walker wrote.

Astronomers' theory of how galaxies formed may be upendedThe standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.
