Monitoring a space body that sends signals to Earth every 18 minutes!

by time news

An Australian team of astronomers spotted a space object, which surprised scientists, as the object, which orbits 4,000 light-years away, according to what Al-Arabiya indicated, sends repeated radio audio signals to Earth every 18 minutes, which worried scientists, and for a moment they thought they might have picked up a message from A distant alien civilization.
Observations show that the body releases a giant burst of energy 3 times an hour.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, its discovery for the first time surprised astrophysicist Natasha Hurley, who said: “We thought at first that it was evidence of the existence of other life outside Earth.”
She added, “This was completely unexpected, and it was frightening for an astronomer because until today there is nothing known in the sky that does that.”
Scientists suggest that it may be a neutron star with a super strong magnetic field, and this is what is known as a “magnetic star”.
According to specialists, the magnetic star rotates so fast on its axis that it ends a cycle between 1 and 10 seconds.
But these stars still raise many questions for astronomers, who consider them very mysterious, and they do not know about them or their properties, and how they form very little.
