Research Astronomers Find The Youngest Pulsar Yet In The Heart Of An Exploded Star A team led by astronomers at Columbia University have found the youngest pulsar yet, a hot, spinning, highly-magnetized infant no larger than Manhattan, born in a massive star explosion about 700 years ago. The pulsar possesses unusual properties that may force scientists to reconsider how pulsars are created.
