Astronomers map the surface of a pulsar for the first time
A new mapped the surface of a pulsar, and it may cause astronomers to rewrite their textbooks.
Peculiar pulsar slows down before ‘glitching’
The findings might help astronomers unravel the dynamics inside neutron stars.
She lost the Nobel Prize to her supervisor in 1974 — now, she got a $3 million physics prize, and donated all of it
The pioneering physicist gave all the prize money away.
Astronomers are on the lookout for low-frequency gravitational waves generated by merging supermassive black holes
An ingenious technique could enable us to witness some of the strongest gravitational waves.
Astronomers discover the first white dwarf pulsar in history, ending half a century of searching
It's small but it will rip you apart using only magnetism.
