Pulsar, illustration. A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star. Neutron stars are the collapsed super-dense core of a massive star that has blown off its outer layers in a supernova. It casts out narrow beams of energy (purple) as it rotates. The beams are confined by extremely strong magnetic fields that emanate from the star. | |
