NASA's Fermi Telescope Finds Youngest Millisecond Pulsar
Loading...
Uploaded by NASAtelevision on Nov 4, 2011
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered the youngest known millisecond gamma-ray pulsar in an old globular cluster of stars. A pulsar is a type of neutron star that emits electromagnetic energy at periodic intervals; a millisecond pulsar does soe every one- to ten-milliseconds, or one one-thousandth of a second.. A neutron star is the closest thing to a black hole that astronomers can observe directly, crushing half a million times more mass than Earth into a sphere no larger than a city. This matter is so compressed that even a teaspoonful weighs as much as Mount Everest. Recent discoveries of more gamma-ray pulsars have pushed their number past 100.

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

Has anyone here had problems with Seti lately?

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:)
