Explore 10 ways pulsars act like cosmic lighthouses in this illustrated hub post. Each numbered item explains a distinct behavior or analogy – beam alignment, precise timing, pulse profiles, relativistic effects, and how astronomers use pulses as cosmic clocks – linking to deeper articles with images, data, and clear explanations for curious readers and students.
This post explores the Types of Pulsars, comparing young energetic pulsars, recycled millisecond pulsars, and magnetars by typical period, magnetic field strength, and emission band. It provides clear tables and explanations to help students and enthusiasts understand how pulsar properties arise from neutron-star physics and observational methods.
