Astronomers found a new object in our galaxy. It is a strange thing in the Milky Way. It may be a star, or maybe something else new.

This object sends out X-rays and radio waves. It does this at the same time. The cycle repeats every 44 minutes when it is very active.

The object is 15,000 light-years away. It is in a busy part of the Milky Way. It could be a dead star with strong magnets like a neutron.

The object might also be \"something exotic\" and unknown. This is what the study author said. NASA's Chandra saw the X-rays by accident last year.

The object is called ASKAP J1832−091. Its active phase lasted about one month. Scientists think there may be more of these objects in space.
