Pulsars

__Pulsars__ Pulsars highly magnetized rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves. Their observed pends range from 1.4 ms to 8.5 s. The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emition is pointing towards the earth.


 * __HABITABILITY:__**

It is impossible for humans to live on pulsars because, they emit too much heat and radiation for any life form to live on.



=__//** FUN FACTS **//__ =  v There are now more than 500 pulsars known in the Galaxy v Pulsars are almost certainly rapidly rotating neutron stars with large magnetic fields. v The Crab pulsar and most of the rest of the pulsars are slowly, slowly slowing down. This was the solution to the mystery of the power source for the Crab.
