This discovery has scientists scratching their heads as it seems to challenge our current understanding of the universe. At first, astronomers believed that UXR objects were black holes surrounded by a gas cloud.

But in 2014, the NuSTAR telescope discovered that the object known as M82 X-2 is not as large as previously thought and is actually a neutron star, the dead shell of an incredibly dense star. The gravity on the surface of a neutron star is about 100 trillion times stronger than that of the Earth, creating a stunning explosion effect when matter falls on the surface.

An article on the M82 X-2 study published on the NASA website states that “a Turkish delight falling on the surface of a neutron star will create the effect of a thousand hydrogen bombs.” The study’s authors calculated that M82 X-2 absorbs the equivalent of one-and-a-half times the mass of Earth each year. When this large amount of matter hits the surface of a neutron star, it creates a bright flash, as astronomers have observed.

Does the object contradict the laws of physics?

The most intriguing thing about this observation is that it seems to defy the laws of physics. Objects in particular are said to be bright enough to exceed the Eddington limit. Researchers believe that the intense magnetic field of the neutron star can change the shape of atoms from spherical to long, string-like. This change in shape can reduce the photons’ ability to repel atoms, leading to an increase in the object’s brightness.

This unprecedented observation may also shed light on another intriguing phenomenon. Astronomers suggest that for the first time in history, traces of a supermassive black hole could be discovered, leaving its own galaxy and drifting through space at an astonishing 5.6 million kilometers per hour, dragging a tail of young stars. after him. While scientists still don’t know the cause of this rare phenomenon, some think it may have been triggered by the interaction of the three black holes, resulting in a slingshot effect that pushed the supermassive black hole through space.

As a result, recent observations of ultra-bright X-ray sources emitting energies beyond the Eddington limit and the behavior of neutron stars that challenge our understanding of the laws of physics have opened new questions in astronomy.

These exotic space objects challenge our current knowledge of the universe and encourage scientists to reassess our understanding of fundamental physical principles. More research and observations are needed to unravel the mystery of these mysterious space objects and their seemingly impossible behavior.
