Milky way it is always a source of amazement for researchers, but now we are talking about a premiere that few of them expected to see in such a way, but here they managed to detect it. We are talking about a new radio signal that researchers have detected in the Milky Way, and it comes with a big premiere, and this is because we are talking about a detection made at the closest approach to Earth so far.
Milky way had this radio emission detected on April 28 by researchers, multiple observatories issuing alerts for its existence, so it was investigated. We are talking about a radio signal that had a duration of half a second, but it came from a known star in the Milky Way, and here the second premiere because until now they came from unknown sources, but that does not mean that there are explanations about him.
The Milky Way: THE PREMIERE, here's what SURPRISED all the researchers
Milky way had the first radio signals discovered in 2007, but researchers have not yet managed to explain them, nor to find their source, most of them lasting a few milliseconds. However, they generate more energy in those moments than the sun does in 100 years, and the detection coming from the known star, and close to Earth, makes things all the more complicated for researchers monitoring the Milky Way now.
"I have never seen a burst of radio waves similar to a fast radio burst from a magnetar before. This is the first observational connection between magnets and fast radio bursts."
Milky way had this radio signal emitted by a neutron star, i.e. what remained after the explosion of a star, having a mass similar to that of the sun, but in an extremely small size, and it is "only" 30.000 years old - the light of the Earth. The star also has a very strong magnetic field, being a magnetar, but that does not explain why that radio wave was emitted through the Milky Way, and researchers are still struggling to find explanations for it.
Milky way It remains a source of great wonder for researchers around the world, so it will be interesting to see what researchers will discover in the future.
