Scientists use pulsars as natural laboratories to study extreme physical conditions, such as strong magnetic fields and high rotation rates.
Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 by astronomers Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish.
The fast rotation of pulsars, sometimes reaching hundreds of rotations per second, contributes to the periodic nature of their pulses.
