For the first time, a star has been discovered in a star

Astronomers discovered the star in a giant gas star about 200,000 light-years from Earth.

In 1975, Dr. Kip Thorne and Dr. Anna Zytkow - two astronomers - each predicted the existence of another star. They argue that they form when a pulsar (ultra-fast rotating star) collides with a giant gas star. Then the giant gas star swallowed pulsed stars. So today astronomers call such stars the Thorne-Zytkow object .

Normal stars exist by fusion reactions in their cores, while Thorne-Zytkow stars exist because of the magnetic pulse star that it "swallows".

Nearly 40 years later, astronomers discovered the first Thorne-Zytkow object . Dr. Emily Levesque, an astronomer from the University of Colorado Boulder in the United States, and colleagues discovered neutron stars inside gas stars after they observed the universe with the Magellan Clay telescope (diameter up to 6, 5m) in Chile, Daily Mail reported.

HV 2112 , the name of the gas star, is about 200,000 light-years from Earth. "Studying such stars is very interesting, because it shows us a whole new kind of celestial body , " Ms. Emily commented. Pulse stars (or neutron stars) are objects that rotate very quickly with an expression like radio waves. The material density of the pulsar is very large. A pulsar with a diameter of 20 km has a mass of 1.3 to 2.5 times the sun. If we put the amount of material equivalent to a finger on the scale, we will see its mass of more than one billion tons.
