Mysterious signal from space repeats every hour

 The ASKAP radio telescope in Australia recorded a strange repeating signal that changes its characteristics every 53.8 minutes, moving into three different states.

The signal, dubbed ASKAP J1935+2148, is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. It emits bright flashes lasting from 10 to 50 seconds with linear polarization.

In other cases, it emits weaker, circularly polarized pulses lasting only 370 milliseconds. Sometimes the signal disappears completely. The study was published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

“What’s intriguing is that this object exhibits three different states of radiation, each with properties completely different from the others,” said lead author Dr Manisha Caleb....<<<Read More>>>....
