An alternative model for pulsars and spiral galaxies
... pulsars, the prevailing model is that of a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a lighthouse-like beam of radio waves which allows it to be detected as it intersects with radio telescopes on Earth. It is this pulsing signal that led to the name...
