Neutron stars were thought to be preposterous when first suggested until 1967 when scientists used radio-antenna telescopes to map the universe. 3 pulses would be unusual, 4 pulses would be phenomenal, but scientists had received pulses from certain parts of the universe 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for months on end. The reason the pulses occurred was because every rotation of the neutron star causes energy to swipe past Earth exactly how light from a lighthouse sweeps light onto the oceans. Scientists first thought the pulses were from aliens until they proposed that the new star had to be denser than any type previously discovered, being the size of a planet but with the power of a star. Astronomers named these new stars “pulsars” and investigated continuously until 1 year later when they found a pulsar, burried deep within the remains of a super local, the pulsar known as the “Crab Pulsar” which is the closest pulsar to Earth. Interestingly, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky had mathematically proven this phenomena 80 years prior but was labeled a hack for his wild theories
