"Stellar Corpse Reveals Signs of Life in Unprecedented Astronomical Discovery"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have made an unprecedented discovery of repeated energetic flares from a stellar corpse following a star's explosion, challenging existing theories about stellar deaths and highlighting the possible role of black holes or neutron stars in such rare, intense phenomena. The observations, reported in the journal Nature, reveal a previously unknown phenomenon, providing new insight into stellar evolution and cataclysms, and suggesting a unique channel for cosmic cataclysms. This discovery, labeled AT2022tsd, promises to advance our understanding of how stars' properties in life may predict the way they'll die and the type of corpse they produce.
