Astronomers have detected rare radio waves from a binary star system, challenging previous ideas about their origins.

The system consists of a red dwarf and a white dwarf orbiting each other every 125 minutes in the Ursa Major constellation.

The discovery of ILT J1101 + 5521 suggests that other binary star systems may also emit radio pulses.
