A pulsar is a dead star formed when a star twice the size of our sun collapses into a sphere just 12 miles wide, creating such extreme density that a single teaspoon of its material would weigh a billion tons on Earth; its violent high-speed spin generates crushing magnetic fields that blast out twin beams of deadly radiation sweeping through space like a celestial lighthouse.

This Dead Star Can Fry Our Entire Planet Instantly #pulsar #deadstar #universeAdded:
There is a dead star in the deep dark that spins fast enough to tear reality apart. A pulsar. This is what happens when a star twice the size of our sun collapses into a sphere just 12 m wide.
It is so incredibly dense a single teaspoon of its material would weigh a billion tons on Earth. Trapped in a violent high-speed spin, its crushing magnetic fields blast [music] out twin beams of deadly radiation, sweeping through the blackness of space like a ghost ship lighthouse. A silent celestial siren counting down the seconds until the universe dies.
