  A strange radio signal coming from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy has been discovered by astronomers. Researchers have been studying variations in radio waves for a long time, but the waves detected are distinct from any previously studied variations. What is unusual about this signal? According to a statement by the University of Sydney, Wang said the scientists found the new signal most strange because it had a "very high polarisation".  He explained that its light rotates with time, but that it is only in one direction at a time. Polarisation, in simple terms, describes the direction in which light waves oscillate. The study author also noted that this was a never-seen-before phenomenon. It was noted that the brightness varied dramatically and that the signal would turn on and off at random, he said, adding that the brightness varied by a factor of 100 during those episodes.  studying  radio waves for variable or transient objects is one way to unravel...
