From within a glowing web expanding outward from an epic explosion, a dead star is flashing pulses of radio light at Earth. This is the Crab Pulsar, and within its radio pulses is a strange signal ...

The Crab Nebula has been one of astronomy’s most scrutinized objects for nearly a millennium, yet Hubble’s first fresh look ...

NICER, the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer, is a NASA telescope that operates from the ISS, and it has made an interesting discovery. NICER has discovered X-ray surges emanating from the ...

Astrophysicists have detected pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Crab pulsar at energies far beyond what current theoretical models of pulsars can explain. With energies exceeding 100 billion electron ...

PASADENA, Calif.– The search for gravitational waves has revealed new information about the core of one of the most famous objects in the sky: the Crab Pulsar in the Crab Nebula. An analysis by the ...

Astronomers have discovered the most energetic pulses of radiation emissions ever detected. The record-breaking pulsar, 6,500-light-years away, appeared from neutron star in the center of the ...

Beating strong The Crab Pulsar, a fast-spinning supernova remnant discovered in 1968, appears to emit pulsed gamma-rays at greater energy levels than can be explained, according to a new study.

For the first time, astronomers have tracked the evolution of a pulsar's magnetic field over time, watching as it slowly tilts toward the dead star's equator. The new observations of the pulsar, ...

The Crab Nebula (also designated M1 or NGC 1952) is visible through small telescopes, which has allowed astronomers to observe its growth and evolution since the supernovae that created it became ...

The VERITAS array is a collection of four 12-meter Cherenkov telescopes used to detect astrophysical sources of very-high-energy gamma rays. Photo credit: Steve Criswell, SAO Astrophysicists have ...
