Hear from Joshua, the first author of the latest ASKAP discovery! Interviewed by Dr Kirsten Banks for @ozgrav.bsky.social 🌟🔭🧪
This student just had their first paper published in Nature Astronomy! Joshua Lee and his team discovered a rotating object in space that's spinning oddly slowly.

Check out this new cosmic weirdo discovered using @csiro.bsky.social's ASKAP telescope! It spins so slowly that you could watch both the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers and still have time leftover before it finishes a full rotation

Blinking radio pulses from space hint at a cosmic object that ‘shouldn’t exist’

It's got some pretty weird properties:
* Slowest period of a neutron-star like object so far - spins once every 6.5 hours.
* Changes brightness by 95% in minutes
What could be powering this unusual source?

Fantastic to see a wide variety of EVs coming to (or already on) the market here in Oz. Also pleasing that the vast majority of them don't have an unpleasant Musky odour associated with them!

YEAH! Look at the cover art on Nature Astronomy!
This wonderful #SciArt is made by Carl Knox (Swinburne/OzGrav), who makes all the awesome visual representations for astrophysics teams.
