<ul><li>Astronomers discover a strange object named ASKAP J1832-0911 in the Milky Way galaxy emitting radio waves and X-rays every 44 minutes.</li><li>Previous long-period radio transients (LPTs) only emitted radio signals, making ASKAP J1832-0911 the first to emit both radio and X-rays, indicating higher energy levels than previously thought.</li><li>The object's bursts last around two minutes and occur every 44.2 minutes, suggesting a compact and highly magnetized source, possibly a neutron star, white dwarf, or black hole.</li><li>This discovery challenges existing theories on cosmic objects, hinting at new physics or models of stellar evolution and underscores the need for advanced telescopes like NASA's proposed Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) to further study such phenomena.</li></ul>
