Scientists spotted a sudden change in the motion of a neutron star named Villa in 2016, suddenly starting to spin more quickly for reasons that are uncertain to date.
Astronomers have observed details from within the neutron star, according to research recently published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
The team, which includes scientists from Monash University and McGill University, found that neutron stars - like a villa - are made up of three distinct layers, a unique discovery that will help scientists understand how these amazing stars work.
Scientists have noticed this sudden change in only 5% of neutron stars.
A review of Villa's sudden acceleration data in 2016 confirmed the proposed explanation for this phenomenon, which is that it occurs due to differences between the star layers.
