Title A neutron star in the Eye of Sauron? Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Astrobites Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 24/03/2017 Description When you go somewhere with relatively dark skies, you can pull up your smartphone and that handy planetarium app, look for the star Fomalhaut in the constellation of Pisces, and then point it to your friend and say: You see, there is a planet orbiting that star, and we have literally seen it with our telescopes! — But there is a catch: The little blob of light which was directly observed by Hubble is weird, and it doesn’t really look like a planet. In fact, some astronomers have proposed it could be a neutron star. Gasp! URL https://astrobites.org/2017/03/24/a-neutron-star-in-the-eye-of-sauron/ Persons Katja Poppenhaeger
