Pulsar Found Near the Center of the Milky Way Could Test Einstein’s Theories
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit bursts of electromagnetic radiation from their poles at regular intervals as they spin. In a way, they’re kind of like cosmic lighthouses, blinking in space. Now, according to a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, there could be a pulsar at the center of our Milky Way—and it could open a new chapter in physics.

Astronomers looking for aliens spot pulsar in heart of Milky Way
New Delhi: Researchers from Columbia University and a scientific collaboration aimed at finding evidence of civilisations beyond Earth, Breakthrough Listen, have published new results from one of the most sensitive radio searchers ever conducted for pulsars, called the Breakthrough Listen Galactic Centre Survey. The survey focused on the complex central region of the Milky Way, which is busy and occupied by the central supermassive black hole, S…
In the center of our galaxy lives Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole around which stars, gas and dust orbit as if they were leaves spinning around a drain. In that scenario, a team of researchers has identified a signal that could belong to a hidden pulsar very close to that galactic nucleus. If it is confirmed, it would not just be “another interesting object”: it would be like finding a precision metronome functioning inside a room wh…
