Earth as a magnet.
The animation shows the magnetic field lines (yellow) around a bar magnet, which by convention emerge from the north pole and enter at the south pole. The bar magnet morphs into the Earth, which is a natural magnet. Earths north...

A pulsar is generally believed to be a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits pulses of radiation (such as x-rays and radio waves) at known regular intervals.
A millisecond pulsar is one with a rotational period in the range of 1-10 milliseconds. When a pulsar is created in a supernova, is born spinning, but slows down over millions of years. However, if the pulsar is in a binary system, the...
