text: The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth.
text: In the same way, radiation from a small region on a neutron star sweeps across the oceans of space, giving us a pulse of radiation each time the beam points toward Earth.
text: Pulsars are rotating neutron stars — the core of long-exploded supernovae — that emit electromagnetic radiation that is only seen when the beam is pointing at Earth.
text: A pulsar (short for pulsating radio star) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation which can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing toward the Earth.
text: As they spin, these beams may point towards the Earth like a lighthouse, allowing them to be observed by radio telescopes.
text: The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth.
text: If this beam points towards the earth, it can then be observed with a large dish antenna and a radio, like the RTL-SDR.
