Space object emits puzzling radio, X-ray bursts

Astronomers have detected a mysterious object in space, ASKAP J1832-0911, emitting radio waves and X-rays in regular 44-minute bursts, defying current understanding. This unusual periodicity has scientists puzzled. Unlike pulsars, which emit signals in seconds or milliseconds, this object's 44-minute intervals are unprecedented. The discovery could lead to new insights into physics, as the signals are unlike anything previously observed. Meanwhile, research suggests gold and other precious metals may be "leaking" from Earth's core into the mantle. This finding, based on studying volcanic rocks, adds to our understanding of the planet's composition.
