NASA's Fermi Telescope Finds Youngest Millisecond Pulsar

[ArabianSoul6]

1-millisecond Pulsar = 1000 revolutions per second = 60,000 revolutions per minute!!! WOW, my head is spinning! :-D

[highihigh]

Has anyone here had problems with Seti lately?

[Xis03]

I like the way the space is so peaceful '-'

[slonamu]

Sound?

[lepoete20]

@slonamu There isn't sound in space lol

[slonamu]

@lepoete20

That is why I dislike the Star war outer space scenes. You can hear the hum of the engines in vacuum...

Still I would like some VO explaining what the hell (or haven) I am watching on this video:)

[GAMEBOY684]

@slonamu yah stupid

[Tjips]

btw, millisecond pulsars come about when normal (aka canonical) pulsars are "spun up" by the process of accreting matter from another star. This means that millisecond pulsars are usually the older pulsars we observe, so finding a very young one is curious. Not that the video is very meaningful though. Just thought I'd share :D

sound?



[mazafuzle]

@F2ID78gh there is no sound in space...

[THE16THPHANTOM]

@mazafuzle

he probably meant videos sound/voice explaining to us non genius people what we are seeing, what the little graphs are telling us

[F2ID78gh]

@THE16THPHANTOM Someone clever enought to understand ;)

[F2ID78gh]

@mazafuzle lol

[commandorando123]

Interesting

[lasalleoaks]

one day we will find something we wont want to c. now its just a matter of time.

[BeardedBill86]

@lasalleoaks Like what? Wouldn't you rather know than not know? If there's any danger, it's there regardless of whether we see it or not anyway.

@lasalleoaks Steve Jobs last words "oh wow oh wow oh wow"

Seti wow signal 15. August 1977

maybe a connection Steve Jobs wow, he saw the wow ETs in heaven

[struggle375]

they should have added commentary im too retarded to understand this

[Neueregel]

So, that's a 1000 spins per second. Amazing!!

[VicariousReality7]

@Neueregel

Wait... what? I can't even fathom that. Wouldn't the centrifugal forces rip it a new one?

[RevelationOrangeII]

@VicariousReality7 Check out the video description: "This matter is so compressed that even a teaspoonful weighs as much as Mount Everest. "

With that much mass, it could withstand the centrifugal force from spinning 1000 times per second.

[Neueregel]

@VicariousReality7 A 10 Km Neutron star sphere has a perimeter of 31.416 km. Spins every 1 millisecond, speed should be ~ 31416 m/s which is a little over of 1 tenth of light speed C. I wouldn't recommend it for a roundabout :)

[httprover]

This appears to be a newer version of the

Video on the NASAexplorer channel: watch?v=eZL-xynHopo

It would be better with an audio track.

[krapptacular]

Wow look at them all.

[Uriel1816]

Excellent!

[hackneysaregreat]

funny stuff, those pulsars

[iiVaOS]

So nice Colors uhm ... but no sound^^?

[jasleil]

@iiVaOS There is a versions that has a narrator explaining this. It's in the NASAexplorer channel.

[mundoovni]

AMAZING!
