A mysterious object is observed in our "Milky Way" galaxy. From images analyzed by the MeerKat radio telescope, experts say that the cosmic body is something between a neutron star and a fairly small black hole. It has an extremely high density, characteristic of neutron stars, which are stars with a small diameter of about 30 km and very compact with a mass that can be several times that of the Sun and the dominant element of which they are composed is precisely neutrons .

Astrophysicists are unable to determine the nature of this object, but studying it in more detail may shed light on a part of physics that is still unclear to us, and also to better understand such phenomena of nuclear matter in excess of dense, of stellar explosions or other phenomena in the universe.

Although exact identification seems impossible at the moment, hypotheses speak of a celestial body that may have been created from a previous merger into two neutron stars, which could explain the unimaginable density it has in its globular mass.
