Pulsars are Sweet!!!


What these are are insanely fast spinning neutron stars, which are also nearly as fascinating! A cool thing is that those 'jets' of air shooting out on two sides are actually its magnetic poles. Apparently they also give of Gamma radiation. Maybe neutron stars are the 'almost made it' black holes...
