While studying a nearby galaxy, astronomers noted a peculiar object that they couldn't identify. The called it punctum (or "point") and continue to study it. It's some kind of light source, but isn't like other light sources we've seen before.
"At the moment, Punctum truly stands apart — it doesn't fit comfortably into any known category, and honestly, nothing like this has appeared in any previous millimeter surveys, largely because, until recently, we didn't have anything as sensitive and high-resolution as ALMA."
Ooooohhhh. Something new that was discovered using higher tech / more sensitive equipment. Gotta love it!
