Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a neutron star in the Milky Way that rotates at an astonishing 716 times per second, placing it among the fastest-spinning stars ever observed.
The neutron star was identified using NASAs NICER X-ray telescope, which captured extreme thermonuclear bursts resembling atomic explosions. These bursts shine up to 100,000 times brighter than the Sun, providing insights into neutron stars’ life cycles and the creation of elements in the universe.
