The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said on the 27th that a research study published in the journal Nature showed that Australian scientists found unknown "weird" transient objects in the Milky Way. For this discovery, some scientists said, "a little creepy."
The mysterious object was first discovered by Curtin University student Odoty through professional telescopes. In his research, Odotti found that the object releases a huge amount of radio energy for 1 minute every 18 minutes. Dr Hurley Walker, an astrophysicist at curtin University's research center, said he was surprised and "even a little creepy". She said no similar phenomenon has been found on any known objects so far. Although "transient" objects that are bright and dark in the universe are not uncommon, "transient" objects that can last up to 1 minute of brightness were previously thought to exist only in theory. "But the universe is full of wonders," Hurley-Walker said.
Dr. Anderson, another author of the "transient" object research paper in collaboration with Odoty, said that the mysterious object is about 4200 light-years from Earth and is very bright and has an extremely strong magnetic field. Dr. Hurley said he would continue to observe the object, believing there would be more data to help understand this rare isolated event.
