Pulsar planetary disc, artwork
Pulsar planetary disc. Artwork of a planet (lower right) forming in the debris disc around a pulsar (centre). The pulsar is shown with polar jets of high-energy radiation and magnetic field lines. Both the pulsar and the disc were created by an earlier supernova explosion. Pulsars are rapidly-rotating neutron stars, so-called because the polar beams that sweep across the sky as the neutron star rotates, are detected as radio pulses on Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Pulsar Planetary Disc" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the depths of space. At its center, we are introduced to a pulsar - a rapidly-rotating neutron star born from the remnants of an explosive supernova event. The pulsar's magnetic field lines and polar jets emit high-energy radiation that illuminates its surroundings. In this cosmic ballet, our attention is drawn to the lower right corner where a planet is in the process of formation within the debris disc encircling the pulsar. This celestial body emerges from swirling clouds of dust and gas as it orbits around its stellar host. Its birth signifies the potential for life beyond our own world, sparking our imagination about alien planets and extrasolar systems. The artist, Lynette Cook, skillfully captures both the scientific intricacies and aesthetic beauty of this astronomical phenomenon. Her illustration allows us to witness not only the radiating impact of this planetary system but also highlights how astrophysics plays a crucial role in understanding these enigmatic objects. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe's origins and what lies beyond. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge in unraveling nature's mysteries while simultaneously igniting wonderment at the vastness and complexity that surrounds us.
