Possible Discovery of Strange Star by Astronomers

TL;DR Summary
Astrophysicists from the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of ABC in Brazil have confirmed that the compact object XMMU J173203.3-344518, which is a mind-blowingly dense blob of star stuff, might be a strange star consisting mainly of particles known as strange quarks. The object's mass, radius, and surface temperature are consistent with cooling conditions that hint at its strange composition. This landmark case could provide more insight into the creation of strange stars and the evolution of supernovae.
