SYDNEY: A discovery has been made by the high school students. They have discovered the pulsar with the widest orbit known to date by the help of a bank telescope.
Pulsars are basically known as pulsating radio stars and are known as one of the most amazing thing in the whole universe. They are highly magnetized and while rotating they produce electromagnetic radiations.
An explanation has been given by a lead author and a student in physics, Joe Swiggum, “pulsars are amazing and unique objects found in the universe and the high school students that find out these are very lucky to get these pulsars and to spot them in a very rare circumstance”.
More than 2300 pulsars are known to astronomers and out of these only 10% are binary. The newly discovered pulsar is a part of a binary system too. The pulsar is known as PSR -1852.
