Thanks to NASA's Fermi telescope, it has been possible to capture how an incredible binary (two stars orbiting their common center of mass) with a rapidly rotating neutron star, underwent a dramatic change that had never been observed before: the pulsar's beacon it faded as the system became five times brighter in gamma rays (the most powerful form of light).
In the next few days we will be able to enjoy a practically unique astronomical phenomenon: two meteor showers in the same night. The key moment in which the maximum activity of the two meteor showers will occur will be the night of Tuesday, July 29, to Wednesday, July 30.
