Cool sim! What software did u use plz?

a space rave in the making LOL

Some comments on this "artistic impression":

#1: If a pulsar is already sucking matter from a nearby star, there is no chance that star will have enough mass to become a supernova.

#2: Binary pulsars will always orbit around their common center of gravity. They won't be stationary.

Yes, The Initial Neutron Star would definately move quite a bit, if the star it's feeding from, would go supernova...

It is possible, according to newest theories, that when the star went supernova, it could of actually turned into Magnetar in it's early years(First 1000 years or so) and then reform into Pulsar only afterwards, by having starquakes, and adjusting it's crust, rather than just turning into Pulsar right away, like this animation suggests.

wtf?

[marshmelow]

...footage of this depending on far away it was may take million of light years to reach our eyes. The chances of us catching something like this are very slim to none.

[imworthmoney]

this is totally not what would happen

[johnny2117]

why wouldn't either of the supernovas push away the other star?

this is kinda cool but... it's a pretty simple concept that was totally overlooked

(sorry, I don't mean to sound like jerk)

[starsquid]

The explosions probably would push the other star a little bit. But considering the huge mass of a star, it would likely only move a little bit, compared to the distance that separates them.

It would probably change their mutual orbit around each other somewhat, which could be measured if we had been close enough and watching at the time.

yeah, i've played this game once and i destroyed 4 planets...sucky!

[mizoss]

you look so clever,if you don't know any thing about space science so please shutt-up your mouth,

[evzyboi]

it is fake thats y

[russia19941]

... looks fake..

[Saruzu]

You don't really think there's actual footage of something like that happening?

[kankypoo]

That's because it is. It says so in the description, silly.

:)

ohh my god

[beatdeat]

Darn those star killing white dwarves...
