The star is in the spiral galaxy M82 and radiates energy, equivalent to 10 million suns. She is the brightest a pulsar in the universe of the famous science, scientists called it M82 X-2. The object is a fast rotating neutron a star that radiates energy around itself. Discovery was made by chance, using the NASA NuSTAR X-ray telescope. Astronomers studied another recently flared up in the galaxy M82 supernova SN 2014, and then noticed bright x-rays, coming from the ultra bright source of the M82 X-2. Scientists believe that the find will help them better know the nature of ultra bright X-ray sources. It was previously believed that X-rays are mainly comes from black holes.
