pulsar.noun,.plural.pulsars
a pulsar is a star that spins very fast and cannot
be seen but produces regular radio signals; 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 in 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 the design of
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 the electron
and 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, where
each time the beam sweeps across Earth, astronomers
can detect the radio waves.

power
Mathematics: the
product, which is 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 {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 to the minus 2 {10÷10=1
[1/100th}]), the tens used two times in the negative way to arrive at the
result of 1
