00:00:04.060 --> 00:00:10.090
Every 38 minutes, these stars complete an orbit around each other.

3
00:00:10.090 --> 00:00:17.150
This is IGR J17062-6143...

4
00:00:17.150 --> 00:00:24.190
...where a lightweight white dwarf star orbits a superdense pulsar.

5
00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:26.220


6
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:32.280
It's the fastest-known orbit for this type of system...

7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:38.340
...where a pulsar's gravity pulls material from its companion into a surrounding disk.

8
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:40.420


9
00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:47.480
The two stars are so close they could fit between Earth and the Moon.
