Mysterious space object sending out radio signals every 18 minutes
Scientists recently discovered a mysterious object in outer space that, for a time, was sending out regular bursts of energy in a way that researchers hadn't previously observed.
They noticed the object was emitting a low-frequency radio signal about every 18 minutes for several months. The bursts of energy would last anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. When visible, the bursts were among the brightest sources of radio waves viewable from Earth, according to CNN. Officials aren't sure what the object was, though they have some theories. Some suspect that it could be the remnants of a collapsed star or a"white dwarf" — a small, dense star that's typically about the size of a planet.
Though the object was thousands of light-years away, scientists were still amazed by the mysterious object's close proximity to Earth.
