☆ A strange signal from deep space has been detected every 22 minutes for more than 30 years. Scientists have no idea what is causing it.

A mysterious object spotted in the cosmos is beaming radio waves toward Earth every 22 minutes. At the end of their life, stars can collapse into neutron stars, superdense objects that pack billions of tons of matter into tiny little spaces, per NASA. Some neutron stars shoot brilliant beams of light and energy from their magnetic poles. This star is crossing the death lineScientists expect pulsating neutron stars to slow down until they reach a "death line." This wasn't the first time a super slow object like this one had been spotted.

☆ Unusual type of stellar object discovered beaming out radio waves

In those moments, it became the brightest source of radio waves viewable from Earth through radio telescopes, acting like a celestial lighthouse. The object, dubbed GPM J1839−10, released radio waves every 22 minutes. “The object we’ve discovered is spinning way too slowly to produce radio waves — it’s below the death line,” Hurley-Walker said. “Assuming it’s a magnetar, it shouldn’t be possible for this object to produce radio waves. The intense, millisecond-long bursts of radio waves have unknown origins, but magnetars have been pinpointed as a potential cause.
