Illustration of the pulsar PSR B1257+12, which is known to host at least three extrasolar planets. The planets are named Draugr, Poltergeist and Phobetor. They were the first ever exoplanets found, as well as the first ones found orbiting a pulsar. Here we see one of the planets eclipsing the pulsar, it jets illuminating a system of rings. | |
