Well, at least now we can make the assumption that if the James Webb Telescope were to look into that region, and the object (or whatever is left of it) happens to be visible, we'd want footage for 18.18 minutes to capture a full rotation. Still odd how the blinking suddenly stopped, which implies that something changed with the object, and we don't even know yet whether the blinking was perhaps caused by the process of changing.

👍 thanks 😱 whoa blow my mind nearly every video.👍 I especially liked the one of the Northern Lights. I am an old sourdough that's lived all over Alaska for 58 years. I've seen the Northern Lights in all the colors of the rainbow and its reflection off the snow at times could be as bright as a cloudy sunset. I've called them in. What I mean is as the N. Lights starts to dance over a mountain tops, I was taught at a young age how to whistle at them to bring them in. After you whistle loudly at them they streak across the sky and dance wildly overhead. The popping and cracking sounds kinda could be described as modified deep radio static sounds. I was a disbeliever once too.

[@KaliFissure]

Wonderful Anton! 🙂🖖 I think we should know by now that a repeating signal is likely natural.

yup, it's called the conservation of angular momentum, if an object is spinning and gets compressed then the rate of the spin is increasing just like you have written with the figure skater if she puts her hands around her body the rate of the spin can be increased even more if the object is accreting energy neutron stars are very compressed objects, a tea spoon of a neutron star would be weighing here on earth the same as entire mount everest, that's top tier density however, that's valid only for matter that is on the surface or in upper layers of neutron stars things go strange even more the deeper you go into a neutron star the core should have been made of something that is called neutronium neutronium blows my mind each and every time it is totally unstable and it is decaying fast, in matter of minutes while releasing energy - lots of energy a tea spoon of neutronium would have been releasing here on earth the amount of energy that is equal to 30,000 tsar nuclear bombs [the tsar bomb has been the most powerful nuclear warhead exploded so far, 50 megatons of TNT] that would be enough for destroying the entire surface of earth - 9 times in a row good night, lol

When I first saw your video about this radio object, my thought was that it was a trinary system: perhaps a neutron star magnetar and another object orbiting each other very closely, with an orbital period of milliseconds, and a third object orbiting around them with a period of 18.18 minutes, periodically eclipsing the maser emissions of the internal binary.

I'd be curious to know what happens if/when one of these extremely powerful binary pulsars has a jet that is aimed directly toward its partner star and essentially slices straight through it every time it rotates... I can only imagine this would have a pretty dramatic impact upon said star, and I'd be very interested in knowing exactly what the resulting effects would be.

"I'd be curious to know what happens if/when one of these extremely powerful binary pulsars has a jet that is aimed directly toward its partner star and essentially slices straight through it every time it rotates" aren't the jets at its poles? so if it's orbiting a star the jets wouldn't be able to hit the star?

Maybe it's magnetic field wobbles in a sort of fight for its radio wave-ness against it's own gravity?

A wobble is the most possible reason why it disappeared for some time.

Could it actually be rotating faster, but be precessing due to influence of some nearby bodies or maybe even some complex interaction between it's own magnetic field twisted by it's fast rotation or maybe some differences between center of mass and distribution of magnetic/conductive materials?

Okay, hear me out. What about a binary pair where one object becomes a compact object and eats the material and angular momentum from it's partner. It eats so much material that eventually only the core remains and leaves some sort of neutron star that is spinning incredibly slowly and is slowing down. Now it eventually slows so much that the outward pressure from it's spin no longer prevents it from fully collapsing into a black hole. That is how you get a slow spinning radio source that disappears.
