Mysterious Signals From Deep Space Expose Aftermath of Failed Cosmic Eruptions

Summary

83% Informative

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are rare family of cosmic phenomena that evolve on a cosmic timescale.

EP 250108a may have originated from the failed jets of a gamma-ray burst, likely triggered by the explosive death of a star around 2.8 billion light-years from Earth .

The cosmic jet barely escaped the powerful gravitational binds of a supernova.

EP 250108a is a good example of proving that we’re ready to rise to the challenge of whatever the universe wants to throw at usâand I hope we get to keep doing that into the coming decades.â In fact, Rastinejad , who just finished defending her PhD thesis, already has her eyes on another odd signal.
