"Unraveling the Mystery: Astronomers Discover Enigmatic Object in the Milky Way"

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious object in the Milky Way that falls within the "black hole mass gap," with a mass heavier than a neutron star but lighter than a black hole. It was found orbiting a radio pulsar and is believed to have formed from the merger of two neutron stars. The discovery, made using the MeerKAT Radio Telescope, could provide valuable insights into the nature of extremely dense objects in the universe, such as black holes and neutron stars.
