PULSAR · NEUTRON STAR

▸ Compressing a massive star's core after a supernova → neutron star (~1.4 M☉ / ~20 km)…

▸ Spinning it up + flux conservation → ~10¹² Gauss magnetic field

▸ Building a magnetic axis TILTED from the spin axis + two beams at the magnetic poles

▸ Placing "Earth / receiver" to catch the lighthouse pulse beat

▸ Calibrating the radio pulse clock…
