Astronomers Discover Mysterious Deep Space Object Emitting Strange Signals Every 44 Minutes

/ The object, named ASKAP J1832-0911, is sending out bursts of radio waves and X-rays in a pattern never seen before—sparking theories of new physics and unknown cosmic phenomena.

० Unprecedented Signals: Emits 2-minute-long bursts every 44 minutes from deep space.

० Dual Emissions: Detected in both radio waves and X-rays, a first for long-period transients (LPTs).

० Scientific Mystery: Could challenge current theories of star evolution and open doors to new physics.

Scientists are baffled by a newly found space object that emits powerful radio signals exactly
every 44 minutes.

 Astronomers have uncovered a cosmic enigma unlike anything seen before. A newly identified object, ASKAP J1832-0911, is transmitting strange and powerful signals from deep space—flashing pulses of radio waves and X-rays for exactly two minutes every 44 minutes.

This puzzling discovery, made by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, has left scientists stunned. The findings, published on May 28 in Nature, may signal an entirely new category of celestial object or a shift in our understanding of astrophysical laws.

“This object is unlike anything we have seen before,” said lead researcher Andy Wang of Curtin University, Australia. “It could be a magnetar or a highly magnetized white dwarf in a binary system — but even those ideas fall short of explaining what we're observing.”

ASKAP J1832-0911 belongs to a rare class of phenomena known as long-period transients (LPTs) — objects that emit bursts of energy at unusually long intervals, defying previously known pulsar behavior. Traditional pulsars emit radio waves every few milliseconds or seconds, but LPTs like this emit signals minutes—or even hours—apart.

This object is only the tenth LPT ever discovered, and it’s the first to be observed emitting X-rays, making the detection even more significant. The breakthrough happened thanks to a stroke of cosmic luck — Chandra happened to be monitoring the same region of the sky when ASKAP picked up the radio signals.

“Finding that ASKAP J1832-0911 also emitted X-rays felt like discovering a needle in a haystack,” Wang said. “It was an incredible coincidence.”

According to astrophysicist Nanda Rea from the Catalan Institute for Space Studies, this dual detection could mark a turning point in understanding mysterious space phenomena. “This opens a whole new window into these elusive objects. If we’ve found one, there are likely many more out there,” she said.

The researchers stress that further observations — especially using a combination of radio and X-ray telescopes — are critical to deciphering the nature of these cosmic lighthouses. Their ability to pulse with such regularity at long intervals may offer clues to undiscovered aspects of stellar evolution or even reveal new physics entirely.
