The endeavor to search for other habitable worlds is nothing short of ambitious. NASA’s latest project, the ‘Habitable Worlds Observatory,’ aims to launch a large space telescope with the primary goal of directly imaging Earth-like planets around stars similar to our Sun. The telescope will also analyze these exoplanets’ atmospheres in search of chemical signatures

Astronomers have recently detected a peculiar signal originating from a neutron star known as ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0, or ASKAP J1935+2148. Situated within the Milky Way galaxy approximately 15,820 light-years away from Earth, this neutron star has puzzled scientists with its unconventional pulsation patterns. Unlike typical neutron stars that exhibit consistent behavior, ASKAP J1935+2148 undergoes fluctuations between
