𑁍♡Pulsar with Messy Hairstyle𑁍♡ NASA used the Chandra X-ray telescope to deeply expose two high-energy pulsars in the Milky Way. This observation is expected to reveal an important mystery. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin at high speeds. It is formed by the compression of a massive star explosion. Neutron stars have extremely strong magnetic fields, which form high-energy pulsed radiation in two magnetic poles

Astronomers say the mystery object is the only one they've ever seen that's heavier than a neutron star, yet lighter than a black hole.

Pulsar A pulsar is an exceptionally polarized pivoting neutron star that transmits light emissions radiation out of its attractive shafts. This radiation can watch just when light emission is highlighting Earth (much like how a beacon can see only when the light is pointed toward an eyewitness) and is liable for the beat appearance of emanation.

When Two Neutron Stars Collide!

To infinity and beyond

The strongest magnets in the universe may have a shorter-than-expected shelf life.

Neutron stars are the cores left behind when relatively massive stars explode in supernovae. They are incredibly dense, packing about as much mass as the sun into a sphere just 20 kilometres or so across, and some rotate hundreds of times per second. Illustration: Casey Reed / Penn State University
