COSMIC MESSAGE

This artist's concept depicts a city-sized neutron star pulling hot plasma from a companion red star. The neutron star spins rapidly, 400 times a second, emitting powerful particle beams and X-ray pulses. This extreme system is based on data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer satellite, which observes such phenomena in our universe.
