Scientists may have discovered a pulsar at the Milky Way’s heart—a result that could reveal new physics
SMRTR summary
Scientists have potentially discovered a pulsar called BLPSR spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*. This lighthouse-like neutron star could enable precise measurements of spacetime distortions around the black hole, potentially revealing new physics and advancing our understanding of General Relativity.
