Astronomers have discovered a mysterious object in the Milky Way that is challenging current astrophysical understanding. This object, which is nearly as massive as the Milky Way itself, appears to be composed of primordial gas with almost no star formation. Dubbed 'The Big Ring,' it is located 9 billion light years from Earth and is so large that it defies conventional cosmic theories. Additionally, a new object circling a pulsar within our galaxy has been identified by the MeerKAT telescope, which might be the heaviest neutron star or the lightest black hole ever found, or possibly a novel quasi-stellar object. Researchers at the University of Manchester are leading the investigation into this enigmatic entity.
