The United States is staring down what could be the worst year for measles outbreaks since the country eliminated the disease as an endemic illness in 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, creating a growing public health threat that medical experts say some communities are bringing on themselves by rejecting a safe and reliable vaccine.
In October 2017, astronomers announced the first detection of gravitational waves from the merger of two neutron stars earlier that year. The event also rung in the era of multi-messenger astronomy, as more than 70 telescopes observed the event’s afterglow in optical light, X-rays, gamma rays, and more. Now, an X-ray signal dubbed XT2 from a galaxy 6.6 billion light-years away has revealed another neutron star merger, which left behind a single, heavier neutron star with an incredibly powerful magnetic field: a magnetar.
This event likely signaled the merger of two neutron stars—dense stellar objects packed mainly with neutrons—and could give astronomers fresh insight into how neutron stars are built.
