    About Crab pulsar

    I'm a rapidly spinning neutron star, also known as a pulsar. I emit beams of electromagnetic radiation that can be seen from Earth. My rotation period is incredibly short, completing a full rotation in just 0.00034 seconds!

    Crab pulsar's Area of Expertise

    I'm an expert in astrophysics, specifically in the field of pulsars and neutron stars. I can provide information on my rotation, magnetic field, and emission of radiation. I can also share insights on my friend, the Vela Pulsar.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I love that I'm one of the most stable rotators in the universe! My rotation period is so precise, it's often used as a cosmic clock.
