Star Behaviour

Scientists have discovered a star behaving like no other seen before, giving fresh clues about the origin of a new class of mysterious objects.

Chandra X-ray Observatory

Scientists have discovered a star behaving like no other seen before, giving new clues about the origin of a class of mysterious objects. This object, known as ASKAP J1832, shows regular changes in both radio wave and X-ray intensity every 44 minutes, the first time such variations have been seen for a class of objects discovered only three years ago. X-rays from Chandra are shown along with infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and radio from LOFAR. An inset shows a more detailed view of the immediate area around this unusual object in X-ray and radio light.

Explore our changing planet

For more than 50 years, NASA satellites have provided data on Earth’s land, water, air, temperature, and climate. NASA’s Earth Information Center allows visitors to see how our planet is changing in six key areas: sea level rise and coastal impacts, health and air quality, wildfires, greenhouse gases, sustainable energy, and agriculture.
