TL;DR Summary

Scientists are studying ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), which are over 10 million times brighter than the sun and defy the current understanding of physics. A new study using NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array suggests that ULXs form on neutron stars, with their brightness due to the intense magnetic field of the neutron star changing the shape of atoms. However, the full truth of the phenomenon remains unknown due to the incalculably powerful magnetic field of neutron stars.
