Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, European astronomers have observed ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the galaxy NGC 4631. As a result, they detected a new pulsating ULX, which received the ...

A pulsating star’s song could be the result of fractals at play. Pressure changes inside a star can make portions of its surface expand and contract, so observers see it appearing to “breathe” as its ...
