animation of neutron star (aka pulsar)

.

I couldn't see how to embed this animation of a neutron star (aka pulsar).

I hope you'll click through and watch the video -- it's short, it's pretty, and it's cool!



Wikipedia:  A neutron star is a type of compact star that can result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star after a supernova. Neutron stars are the densest and smallest stars known to exist in the Universe; with a radius of only about 11–11.5 km (7 miles), they can have a mass of about twice that of the Sun.
