pulsar.noun
The closest pulsar is 280 light years away in
the constellation
of Cetus. A pulsar is a rotating neutron star that sends out pulses of
electromagnetic
radiation at regular intervals (seconds and fractions of them), except
for a pulsar known as PRR-J2144-3933, which emits
every 8.5 seconds. A pulsar forms when huge supernova
explosions generate highly compact neutron star cores, which are about
6 - 12 kilometers in diameter, and spin faster as they collapse. Some pulsars
rotate at an amazingly 600 times a second. Were it not for gravity, pulsars
would blow apart.
The pulsar's magnetic
field, which is 1 million times stronger than Earth's, and its
high velocity (speed) rotation, combine to accelerate electrons. This acceleration
leads to the emission of radio waves in a narrow beam which pans
across space like a light rotating in a lighthouse does on Earth. Each
time the beam sweeps across Earth, astronomers can detect the radio waves.

mathematics: the
product (the number obtained by multiplying two or more numbers together)
of the multiplication of a number by itself;
i.e.,
4 is the second power of 2 (2x2 {2 to the second power, written 22}),
and 32 is the fifth power of 2 (2 to the 5th power, or 25,
or 2x2x2x2x2=32); it is cumbersome
to write a billion, and easier to write 109.
Raising to a power is simply multiplying a number by itself as many times
as you wish, and indicating it by the power. It also works negatively,
by using division; for example, 1/100 would be written 10-2;
that is, 10÷10=1 (1/100th).
