"Star's 54-Minute Radio Bursts Puzzle Astronomers"
TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered a new source of erratic radio bursts, ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0, which emits pulses nearly an hour apart, unlike any known pulsar. This object, suspected to be a neutron star, shows three modes of activity: strong pulses, faint pulses, and periods of no emission. The discovery adds to the mystery of similar objects, challenging current understanding of neutron stars and their emission mechanisms.
