NEW BRUNSWICK/PISCATAWAY, N.J. – A team of astronomers led by Rutgers Professor John P. Hughes has made an important new discovery using NASA’s orbital Chandra X-ray Observatory. The astronomers have ...

Astronomers discovered a pulsar, a kind of zombie star, racing across the galaxy so quickly that it could get from Earth to the Moon in six minutes flat. The dead star has a tail pointing back toward ...

Astronomers think they may have found the most powerful pulsar to date in a distant galaxy. The fast-spinning neutron star — the dense remains of a once massive star — is just beginning to emerge from ...

Astronomers have clocked a pulsar careening through space at a mind-boggling 2.5 million mph (4 million km/h). It seems to have been kicked to such high speeds by its parent supernova. Researchers ...

An extraordinary jet trailing behind a runaway pulsar is seen in this composite image that contains X-ray data from Chandra (purple), radio data from the ACTA (green), and optical data from the 2MASS ...
