Strange radio source in the Milky Way behaves unlike anything known

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAstronomers have found a radio source beyond the Milky Way's outer Norma-Cygnus arm that behaves unlike any known Galactic object, ScienceAlert reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorUnlike any known object. A hundred billion stars to copy from and it still wouldn't.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's called VT J1906+0849. It wasn't in a survey image from nineteen ninety-six, and by twenty fourteen it had brightened to about two hundred millijanskies.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo it turned up on its own.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd the radio peak keeps wandering.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAbout one point nine gigahertz in twenty nineteen, point eight in twenty twenty-four, then back up to two point two.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne point nine, point eight, two point two. Even my radio in the kitchen holds a station better than that.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe team's leading idea is a young relative of a microquasar called SS four thirty-three. That's not confirmed.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA relative. Of course it's family. It'll turn up at Christmas and won't explain itself.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty years of this, and nobody has once asked it to turn it down.
