Mysterious explosions in the center of the galaxy

Most explosions in space emit radio waves. But they often run away from radio telescopes because they don't know when and where they're going to happen.
However, in 2002 astronomers detected that something emitted radio waves in the middle of the Milky Way, and put the large New Mexico telescope looking there. However, after five explosions, the signal disappears. But to keep looking was repaired because months later there was another explosion.
Astronomers have now studied this explosion and, although they still do not know what the radio is broadcasting, they consider the discovery to be very important. Some believe that traces of the last breath of an old pulsar may appear.
