Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Supernova Cannon Expels Pulsar J0002." Pulsars are spinning neutron stars, collapsed stellar cores left from the death explosions of massive stars (e.g. a supernova). Shown here, Pulsar J0002 has already left the supernova remnant CTB 1, and is even fast enough to leave our Galaxy (1,000km/sec). The trail of the pulsar is visible extending to the lower left of the supernova remnant. This image is a combination of radio images from radio and infrared observatories. Glad the pulsar isn't headed our way!

Astronomers using NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have found a pulsar hurt...
Good Tuesday Morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price!!! We don't hear about Pulsars that often, so this Post and Image are of great interest to me and I am sure many others! This is an amazing subject and this Pulsar is traveling at some 2.5-million MPH or 4-Million KPH!!! I performed a bit of research and came up with a NASA Scientific Video, which highlights the subject of this particular Pulsar... I believe your followers will find this extremely interesting!
