The model's standard version yields only a blurry look at phenomena that take place on scales less than 1,250 miles across, and it's blind to anything smaller than 200 km.

Using the Green Bank Telescope, astronomers have revealed a novel stellar system. Consisting of two white dwarf stars and a superdense neutron star, the stars are packed within a space smaller than Earths orbit around the Sun.
