Wobbling 'zombie star' flashes Earth in groundbreaking observations
Original: A giant cosmic 'fart' is making a wobbling zombie star repeatedly flash us, 'groundbreaking' observations reveal
Astronomers report 'groundbreaking' observations of a dead, collapsed star that repeatedly flashes toward Earth as it wobbles, with the pulsing apparently driven by a huge outflow of gas — described colorfully as a giant cosmic 'fart'. The findings offer a rare look at the behavior of a stellar remnant and the material it expels.
Why now: Newly published observations of an unusually flashing dead star are striking and unusual enough to draw wide attention.
