the Crab pulsar, or neutron star, beeps faster than any discovered to date. Thus it is presumably younger, hotter and brighter, and could be seen more easily than any other. Corresponding Flashes.
The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star formed from the core collapse of a massive star following a supernova explosion. It is located about 6,220 parsecs from Earth.
