Strange new star puzzling scientists

Strange, conflicting signals found in the night sky have I'ed astronomers to one of the most baffling objects yet seen among the stars of our Milky Way galaxy. The object appears to be a star with a split personality — rushing towards us and away from us at the same timp. Astronomers don’t think it’s really doing .that, but other explanations seem almost ‘as bizarre. “We have never seen or heard of anything even remotely like this stellar object," sard Prof. Bruce Margon. “It is perhaps the most baffling astrophysical phenomenon since discovery of the quasar." , What they've found is a star that shows signs of rushing toward the earth at more than 30.000 miles a second, and it shows similar signs of dashing away at that speed at the same time. More EMTS needed at Milford The Milford Emergency Medical Service is looking for more technicians and drivers, The next basic EMT class will begin on September 6, at Goshen Hospital. The course consists of 81 hours in classroom and emergency room st udy More drivers are needed so the EMT’s can concentrate solely on patient care in the ambulance. Anyone interested in joining the Milford EMS, either as an EMT or a driver, should contact John Perry.

“To be honest," Margon said, "I don't have any convincing idea what this really is, and neither does anyone else. We have no astrophysical parallels in this or any other galaxy that comes even close to this phenomenon; it is something completely different " One speculation, Margon said, is that the object may be a star that's in deep, deep distress, spinning so rapidly that it is sprewing out two jets of gas inopposite directions, similar to the way a pinwheel shoots out jets of air as it spins.
