Astronomers have traced a mysterious pulsing radio signal from deep within the Milky Way back to a red dwarf star, marking the first time such a signal's origin has been identified. The signal, named GLEAM-X J0704-37, is the slowest of its kind, emitting minute-long pulses every three hours. Researchers used the Murchison Widefield Array in Australia and the MeerKAT in South Africa to pinpoint the source, suggesting the signal is generated by interactions between a red dwarf's stellar wind and a white dwarf's magnetic field. This discovery opens new avenues for understanding cosmic radio waves.
