A star has slipped out of view of astronomers due to the space-time warp. The disappearing star is part of a binary star system called J1906. It's a pulsar, which means it's a rotating neutron star, the result of a massive star collapsing in on itself.
According to AustralianPopularScience, researchers have been studying the young pulsar for five years to determine what kind of companion star was orbiting around it. But recently, the pulsar has vanished.

- Big Planet, Small Star
One of the smallest stars in the Galaxy has been found to have a planet orbiting it that is six times more massive than Jupiter. This gas giant is as far from its star as Mercury is from our Sun, but because the star is so small, it is like a scaled...
- Rocky Earthlike Planet Discovered
Researchers on 21.4.09 confirmed the existence of a rocky Earthlike planet with a mass of 1.9 Earth masses, orbiting in the Gliese 581 system. Another planet in the four planet system was also found to be lying in the star's habitable zone, the...
- Young Pulsar Shows Its Hand
small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for this beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years. At the center of this image made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is a very young and powerful pulsar, known as PSR B1509-58,...
- White Dwarfs As Pulsars
A little more than two years ago, in early 2008, there was a shocking discovery from the Suzaku team. Suzaku is an orbiting X-ray observatory, operated jointly by JAXA and NASA. It had detected a white dwarf star, AE Aquarii, emit high-energy X-ray pulses....
- Nearest Black Hole(or Neutron Star)
According to NASA, astronomers, using Chandra X-ray observatory had almost found a youngest possible Black hole known to exist in our cosmic background, and they even said that it appears to be our nearest possible. The 30-year-old object provides a...
