A pulsar rotating 122 times per second could be present at the heart of the Milky Way
SMRTR summary
Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope have discovered a pulsar spinning 122 times per second near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The finding surprised researchers since they expected to detect many more pulsars in this region, but found only this single candidate dubbed the Breakthrough Listen Pulsar. The discovery requires confirmation through additional observations using advanced telescopes, which could significantly enhance understanding of our galaxy and the broader universe.
