XMM-newton has, for the first time, detected signals from both stars of a binary pulsar system in X-rays, unveiling a scientific goldmine. Each star of the closely-packed system is a dense neutron star, spinning extremely fast, radiating X-rays in pulses.

Would you like to know why we find this discovery so exciting? Please read the rest of the article at www.FigBranch.com http://figbranch.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=283&am...

  • The TWIN HELIKOPTERS' BLADES PULSER OF "STELLARIZED" CASTOR AND POLLUX! In Roman Mythology Castor and Pollux appeared miraculosly in the Battle of Lake Regulus to aid the Romans to certain Victory:ask any student of Latin Class especially CHANNEL THREE'S LATIN NEWS!

  • I'd call this THE TWIN HELICOPTERS' BLADES PULSAR!

  • @Hyperion7433 It prob ends up feeding it in someway. Not sure and is just a guess but would make sense.

  • the other star is in a constant bath of radiation, i wonder how that effects it.

  • Amazing!
