2022 May 3 |
Astronomers confirmed that an object they thought was a distant galaxy is actually the brightest extra-galactic pulsar ever seen. The new pulsar, called PSR J0523-7125, is about 50,000 parsecs from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The pulsar is ten times brighter than any other pulsar found outside the Milky Way.
