I love it when they are wrong. It should make them rethink the models but they usually just make fictitious things up as a response.

interesting.. wonder what all changes to current theory this'll entail

"...artist's conception shows a neutron star known as a magnetar crackling with extremely powerful magnetic activity."

Oh, so that's what that was.. I never knew that magnetic energy crackles along field lines that resemble Bohr Model electron orbitals... or that a neutron star looks uncannily like a computer rendering of the Sun. A pity so many "artist's renderings" nowadays apparently are no longer done by a real artist that studies the subject aforehand. My guess is the task is just delegated to an undergraduate graphics arts intern as an afterthought most of the time.

Well, as a frequent visitor and proponent of the Hanford LIGO facility, I am looking forward to seeing potential gravity wave data (and processing it via Einstein@Home).

Weighing as much or more than the sun but only as big as asteroids, they can rotate tens or even hundreds of times a second (versus once a day for Earth).

IF the sun rotates, is it "exactly" in phase with the Earth? And does the sun's axis of rotation coincide with the axis of the Earth's orbit?

Cheers!

Here is great movie of the Crab Nebula pulsar using Hubble and Chandra satellite time-lapse pictures. Quite remarkable if you are in to this kind of thing.

Thanks neverdem.

Re: Right Before Our Eyes (Pulsar started emitting powerful bursts of x-rays like a magnetar.)

Oh crap! Didn't Jon Stewart, at the Academy Awards... just say that when we see a Black or Woman President, an asteroid is hitting the Statue of Liberty?
