NASA:
By following up on mysterious high-energy sources mapped out by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Netherlands-based Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) radio telescope has identified a pulsar spinning at more than 42,000 revolutions per minute, making it the second-fastest known.
At some point in this system’s history, matter began streaming from the companion and onto the pulsar, gradually raising its spin to 707 rotations a second, or more than 42,000 rpm, and greatly increasing its emissions. Eventually, the pulsar began evaporating its companion, and this process continues today.
My small caveman brain can’t even comprehend a star with the mass of half a million Earths and no larger than Washington, D.C. that spins 700 plus times per second.
Indeed, Shawn. Understanding it conceptually, sure. But that such a thing actually exists… just wow.
@glennc777:disqus NASA’s write-up is incredible, but even with some knowledge on pulsars and neutron stars i still say wow. Baked my noodle for a good three hours and I still said wow!
Thankfully our Earth is in country between to spiral arms!
