THE DEATH OF A PULSAR
When a pulsar spins, it generates radiation, and uses up its energy.

RADIATION
Radiation is energy that acts like electromagnet waves or as subatomic particles.

FACTS
- The fastest pulsar spun 460 times per second!!!
- Anything that enters a pulsar will spin continuously until it explodes.
- thousands of years ago, pulsars were used to tell time.
There are a five relatives of a pulsar:
- Quasars
- Black Holes
- Comets
- Asteroids
- Meteorites
QUASARS
Quasars are BASICALLY pulsars that evolved. They are red and yellow and generates more radiation.
