- By cosmic coincidence, there's a system of two neutron stars that are both pulsars and just by chance, they both shine in Earth's direction. It's the ONLY one of these systems we know about so far. When the beam of one goes through the magnetic field of the other, we can study its magnetosphere! 🔭
- 1 in 100 billion! The double pulsar system, where both pulsar beams point at us, offers astronomers a unique chance to study extreme astrophysics. @cosmicrami.com chatted with @astromelow.bsky.social on his new paper. www.spaceaustralia.com/feature/unve... #SpaceAustralia 🔭📡🧪 📸M. Kramer/MPIfR
