stars spinning rapidly around each other in a "fiercely tight" orbit could help shed light on some of the universe's biggest mysteries.
A neutron star, the ultra-dense remains of a supernova, is believed to be in a doomed orbit around a pulsar before they collide in a whopping 470 million years.
Neutron stars are extremely dense astronomical objects that pack hundreds of thousands of times the Earth's mass into a space that is the size of a city.
A pulsar is a magnetised neutron star that spins rapidly, shooting out bursts of radio waves.Scientists said it is unusual to see a binary system that has two neutron stars with different masses orbiting each other.When these stars eventually merge, it is thought they will release massive amounts.
