Strange new signals detected in space

The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research has discovered a new type of cosmic phenomenon.

The international study has found an object emitting pulses of both radio waves and X-rays and doing so consistently.

This has opened questions about how they occur and what it would mean for the outer space.

The Wire’s contributor from R-T-R FM Fiona Bartholomaeus asked Associate Professor at the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy Clancy James, to explain more about this discovery.
