Astronomers have discovered a strange new object in our Milky Way galaxy. The celestial object is emitting X-rays around the same time it's shooting out radio waves.

The Galactic Centre: A Hotbed of Gravitational Waves At the very heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, holds a central role. However, it is not acting alone.

Locked in a stellar dance To solve the Milky Way mystery, de Ruiter devised a method to identify radio pulses lasting seconds to minutes within the archives of the Low-Frequency Array telescope ...

Something else had to be instigating it. The pulses differed from fast radio bursts, which are incredibly bright, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves.

The double-sided radio wave is estimated to be at least 200,000 light-years across. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles.
