Near the milky Way was a strange x-ray flash

Discovered flash differ significantly from those that emit space objects.

Scientists have recorded two mysterious flashes of x-ray radiation in the nearby milky Way galaxy, reports the journal Nature. Not yet established the cause of these outbreaks.

The research team, led by Professor Jimmy Irwin (USA), examined data on 70 galaxies close to the milky Way to find out the origin of the observed phenomena. Experts have discovered only two sources of such outbursts.

Discovered flash differ significantly from those that emit cosmic objects like supernovae that produce gamma rays. Thus, the sources of new outbreaks are not self-destructed.

The last time the x-ray flash could see in 2003 and 2007 near the galaxy NGC 4697. The x-ray sources are black holes, neutron stars, quasars, and other objects that are of great interest for astrophysics.
