Vela Pulsar Jet • Chandra Movie Features Neutron Star in Action (with sound) 12.1.26 VIDEO: For better viewing we've added the sound of the Vela pulsar to the Chandra movie. The Vela Pulsar has a rotational period is 89 milliseconds or about 11 times a second. Credit: Astronomy Nation. Chandra X-Ray Observatory. CSIRO Parkes Observatory • This movie from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory shows a fast moving jet of particles produced by a rapidly rotating neutron star , and may provide new insight

The Vela Pulsar is a neutron star spinning 11 times per second, located roughly 1,000 light-years away. The video combines real X-ray data, processed to visualize the pulsar’s powerful jets and shock waves. Scientists also converted its radio pulses into audible sound to analyze its precise rhythm.

Let’s groove to the beat of the stars this World Music Day. 🎵 Padam Padam isn't just our new favourite Kylie Minogue track. It's also the sound of pulsars. Pulsars are the remains of stars that have exploded and become highly dense balls of matter that emit specific radio signals. ✨ When we detect these waves on Earth, they appear in our data with a beat so steady, you can use it to keep an orchestra in time. And each pulsar we’ve discovered so far has its own unique beat. Turn the sound up to

VELA PULSAR JET • Neutron Star in Action (with sound) • The Vela Pulsar has a rotational period is 89 milliseconds or about 11 times a second. • Chandra movie of the Vela pulsar shows it may be "precessing," or wobbling as it spins. • Audio from CSIRO Parkes Observatory of 89 milliseconds. • This movie contains 8 images from observations taken between June and September 2010. • The Vela pulsar, found about 1,000 light years from Earth, formed when a massive star collapsed. • The pulsar spins fas
