Mysterious signal every 44 minutes in the Milky Way: New challenge for scientists

Mysterious signal every 44 minutes in the Milky Way: New challenge for scientists

A mysterious signal has recently been detected from deep within the Milky Way galaxy, which is beyond the scope of scientists’ imagination. This signal comes in a regular pattern—about every 44 minutes. Sometimes it appears as radio waves, sometimes as X-ray waves. Such a rhythmic signal has never been seen before.

Scientists have named this mysterious cosmic object ASX J18320911. It is located far from our solar system, towards the central region of the Milky Way. There are countless stars, gas and cosmic debris here, but the signal and light pattern of this object are different from everything else.

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Australia’s ASX Radio Telescope detected this signal together. The study showed that both radio waves and X-ray signals are repeating at the same time rhythm. Scientists believe that the same process is probably at work behind both signals.

This object belongs to a rare class called long-period radio transients. Pulsars typically spin rapidly and emit signals frequently. But ASX J18320911 emits signals much more slowly, which makes it even more mysterious.

Scientists at the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research say it could be an unusual neutron star or a piece of powerful magnetic debris. But the possibility of a completely new type of cosmic object cannot be ruled out.

This mysterious signal is forcing us to rethink our understanding of space. For now, it is silently sending signals from deep space, and scientists are trying to unravel the mystery of its message.
