The explosion occurred on the surface of a pulsar around 11,000 light-years away.
The pulsar in question—known as SAX J1808.4-3658 —is located around 11,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, spinning away at a staggering 401 rotations per second, according to NASA.
Among the most unusual elements of the explosion, the astronomers observed that there was a temporary pause in the increase of X-ray brightness. Following this pause, the X-rays started to become brighter again. The scientists are not clear exactly why this occurred but have proposed a potential explanation.
The extreme gravitational pull of the pulsar sucks in hydrogen gas from the brown dwarf, which accumulates in a disk around the dense star remnant.
