Pulsar planetary disc. Artwork of a planet (lower right) forming in the debris disc around a pulsar (centre). The pulsar is shown with polar jets of high-energy radiation and magnetic field lines. Both the pulsar and the disc were created by an earlier supernova explosion. Pulsars are rapidly-rotating neutron stars,so-called because the polar beams that sweep across the sky as the neutron star rotates,are detected as radio pulses on Earth | |
