Astronomers report a long-period radio transient whose pulses repeat every 7.9 minutes but appear only during a roughly six-hour window, followed by about 26 hours without detections. They believe the source is a white dwarf pulsar paired with a G-type star of similar mass and temperature to the Sun, the first such system found.
