The phenomenon was caused by a neutron star orbiting a rapidly spinning white dwarf star. Scientists had been tracking the extraordinary binary star for about 20 years. Scientists were able to follow the star by using a CSIRO Parkes Observatory’s 64-metre radio telescope.
According to astrophysicists from the ARC Centre of Excellence of Gravitational Wave Discovery the star was “frame-dragging”.
The stars were able to twist space and time due to their immense gravity.
The research was published in the Journal of Science.
A binary star is made up of two stars.

The binary star is made up of a neutron star and a white dwarf.
The star system has been named “PSR J1141-6545.”
In 2019 it was revealed that an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth by ESA chief Marc Scheper, who is heading-up plans to protect the planet.
Asteroids are the small rocky bodies in the inner Solar System orbiting the Sun and their collisions – known as impact events – have played a significant role in shaping many planets.
“Something serious would happen to Earth and mankind.
“So currently we are working on a study to investigate the opportunity or possibility to deflect or deviate an asteroid if it’s on course for Earth.”
Mr Scheper revealed that ESA has teamed up with NASA launching a satellite to investigate asteroid mechanics.
He said: “We are targeting a binary asteroid, which is an asteroid and a smaller one rotating around it.
“By hitting the small one, we will modify its path around the big one and measure the effects.”
