A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits beams of radiation from its magnetic poles, which sweep across space like a lighthouse beam as the star spins. Because these beams point toward Earth at regular intervals, we detect pulses of radiation, making pulsars useful cosmic tools for studying extreme physics and testing our understanding of gravity and matter.
