Description
This NASA space art illustration is an artist's concept of a pulsar planetary system discovered in 1992 by Aleksander Wolszczan. A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star, formed from the collapse of a massive star after it has gone supernova. This pulsar, named PSR B1257+12, has three planets, all of which are visible in the illustration. The blue glow is caused by the twisted magnetic fields of the pulsar. One the Earth-sized planets is in the foreground of the image, and the others above and to the right. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
