Astronomers Baffled by Slow-Spinning Neutron Star Emitting Hourly Radio Signals

Scientists have discovered a mysterious radio signal from space that repeats hourly, baffling researchers as it doesn't match known patterns of neutron stars or white dwarfs. The signal, detected by the ASKAP J1935+2148 telescope, has a 53.8-minute period and originates from 4.85 kiloparsecs away. Researchers are considering the possibility of a very unusual neutron star or a white dwarf as the source, which could challenge existing astronomical theories.
