- NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on International Space Station (ISS) has detected the brightest ever X-ray burst.
- The X-ray burst had been caused by a massive thermonuclear flash on the surface of a Pulsar.
- The crushed remains of a star that exploded long ago as a supernova is called pulsar.
- The explosion, which astronomers classify as a Type I X-ray burst, released as much energy in 20 seconds as the Sun does in nearly 10 days.
