Cosmic mystery deepens as astronomers find object flashing in both radio waves and X-rays - ICRAR Astronomers from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), in collaboration with international teams, have made a startling discovery about a new type of cosmic phenomenon.

Australian astronomers using CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope on Wajarri Country in WA find an even stranger long-period transient www.icrar.org/xray-transie... cue endless stories about "baffled" astronomers and the Daily Mail using the "a" word.

Out of all the different types of scientist in the world, astronomers sure must spend more time feeling "baffled" than anyone else, if reports are to believed. I don't think I ever see headlines about genetic conservationists being baffled. #astronomy

Observations detect a perfectly shaped supernova remnant An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant that showcases a remarkable circular symmetry in shape. The detection of the remnant, dubbed "Teleios," is describ...

So when it's a supernova remnant, it's "perfectly shaped" because it's so circular, all according to one set of doctors and "physics"? But when I'm the circular one, I'm "morbidly obese" & going to die of heart disease, according to a different set of doctors and "medicine"? #askap #snr
