Scientists pick up two blasts from object in deep space unlike anything seen before
Scientists have observed two blasts in space unlike anything ever seen before.Two bursts were spotted by China's Einstein Probe, each made of two X-ray flares, each about 200 seconds apart, which likely came from the same object.Researchers then quickly pointed several telescopes to gather more data - and analysis of the multiwavelength data is presented.This behaviour is consistent with gamma rays - except no gamma radiation was detected.

China's Einstein Probe detected a mysterious cosmic explosion — and scientists have no idea what caused it
China's Einstein Probe has spotted a cosmic explosion from a mysterious source that's unlike anything seen before. The burst was made up of two X-ray flares, about 200 seconds apart, that likely came from the same object. Their behavior is most consistent with powerful cosmic explosions known as gamma ray bursts — except no gamma rays were detected, scientists reported June 13 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.Launched int…
The Einstein Probe space telescope recorded a cosmic phenomenon so unusual that astronomers still can't fit it safely into any known category. Called EP240305a, the event appeared as a rapid X-ray explosion, had radio signals for weeks and left a weak track in the infrared, but without the emission of rays...

Einstein Probe detects mysterious X-ray transient that doesn't fit any known class
Astronomers have reported the discovery of an unusual X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe that does not fit any known class of cosmic explosions. The paper presenting its multiwavelength analysis was published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on June 13.

The Einstein probe in China detected a mysterious cosmic explosion, and scientists have no idea what caused it, according to Live Science. Practically, there were two spatial eruptions produced in the same place that experts can't find explanations about. The discovery was made last year. The first eruption lasted about two minutes. Approximately 200 seconds later, the probe detected a second eruption that lasted over four minutes. The probe rec…
