Remember NuSTAR, the specialized space telescope NASAdesigned specifically to study black holes? It just found something much, much brighter. Astronomers at NASA have stumbled upon what appears to be the most luminous pulsar ever discovered, but they almost mistook it for a black hole. After measuring the dead star's output, they found it was outputting as much energy as 10 million suns -- shockingly powerful, considering how much smaller it is than our own star. Astronomers aren't sure why the pulsar is so bright, but will continue to study in hopes of learning how common or uncommon this kind of pulsar is. The discovery kind of shakes up what theorist knew about black holes and ultraluminous x-rays, underlining how little we really know about the universe out there.
“You might think of this pulsar as the ‘Mighty Mouse’ of stellar remnants,” said Fiona Harrison, the NuSTAR principal investigator at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, in a NASA releaseabout the pulsar. “It has all the power of a black hole, but with much less mass.”

Science was my field of specialization both in high school and university...so the fact that most ladies don't care about science and technology doesn't mean I don't. At least you should even compliment me for engadging in science and technology rather that discriminate or discourage me. Just get that upfront and keep off if u don't have anything good to contribute.

Awww don't misinterpret my post I said I wondered if the OP was a lady . It was just surprising to have a lady that visit sites nerds and dorks frequent, I never meant to be negative. Sorry

Is this true?
