Wobbling zombie star repeatedly flashing Earth, astronomers say
Original: A giant cosmic 'fart' is making a wobbling zombie star repeatedly flash us, 'groundbreaking' observations reveal
Astronomers report that a dead, 'zombie' star is repeatedly flashing toward Earth because of a giant cloud of gas ejected by the star, described colourfully as a cosmic 'fart'. The wobbling object emits pulses of light at regular intervals as it rotates, and researchers are calling the new observations groundbreaking for what they reveal about the behaviour of stellar remnants.
Why now: Newly published observations of an unusual pulsing dead star are drawing wide attention for their striking findings and vivid description.
