Pulsar in the center of the Crab Nebula One of the results of a supernova explosion is the formation of a neutron star or a black hole. In the center of the Crab Nebula (which is the remnant of a supernova explosion) is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The radiation from the star reaches us in the form of short pulses, lasting 33 milliseconds. The star makes 30 revolutions per second. In the video, you can hear these pulses, translated into the audio range Also, the flow of particles from the eq

Pulsar: A pulsar (pulsating star, on the model of quasar) is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles. This radiation can be observed only when a beam of emission is pointing toward Earth (similar to the way a lighthouse can be seen only when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer), and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission. Neutron stars are very dense and have short, regular rotational periods
