00:00The Sun is the brightest thing around, but many cosmic objects can be much, much brighter.
00:09In fact, astronomers at NASA have just clocked something in deep space that's so bright, they say it defies the laws of physics.
00:15They're calling it an ultraluminous X-ray source, and they say it's around 10 million times brighter than the Sun.
00:21The source has been named M82X2, named for the M82 galaxy where the source is emanating from.
00:27Despite having a name and knowing where it's hailing from, experts still aren't sure what it is.
00:31Current laws of astrophysics outline how when an object gets too bright, it will break apart, a theory called the Eddington Limit.
00:37But this source would thwart that disintegration threshold.
00:40Astronomers initially believed it could be some massive cosmic wind that had been trapped up in a sort of galactic tornado, spinning into a cone with the tip pointing towards Earth, focusing the light.
00:49But now they say it more likely has to do with a mega dense pulsating neutron star, explaining that it could be a super strong magnetic field, firing out from that star as well, squishing incoming matter and changing the shape of its atomic structure, elongating atoms and increasing the star's brightness.
01:05Impossible and the purge.
01:09Oh, we decided you weren't sunk in less.
01:11amongst, of plant in its total condition.
01:12Because of.
01:13Mostonter is been skipped, theatri.
01:15Noam is meant to get more negative than the water off héird course, not the wind, which is 매 toegen past, theальный borders поэтому.
01:17Well to ask for the next one answer, let's think about this.
01:19Make sure your solution is a better off.
01:21You're right, this is correct, I'm just a better.
