Apparently an object in a nearby galaxy is producing radio waves. Astrophysicists are perplexed by this enigma. The weirder thing is, it’s moving at four times the speed of light and is being compared to a ‘microquasar’, which is formed after a massive star explodes, leaving behind a black hole.
It first appeared in May of 2009. It doesn’t fit the pattern of radio emissions from a supernova, which usually gets brighter over a few weeks and then fades to nothing. This new source is emitting a steady transmission. Whatever it is, it’s new to us.
