#KnowledgeBit: #Pulsar and #Star

A #Pulsar (from pulsating radio source) is a highly magnetized rotating #NeutronStar that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles. Pulsars aren't really stars — or at least they aren't "living" stars.

Pulsars form when a star more massive than the sun runs out of fuel in its core and collapses in on itself.

#KnowledgeBit: The #PeriodicTable is a rows and columns arrangement of the chemical elements. It is widely used in chemistry, physics, and other sciences, and is generally seen as an icon of chemistry.

The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. He successfully used the periodic law to predict properties of some of the missing elements.

Here is a Periodic Table of Elements (source: Wikipedia).
