PSR B1508plus55
From Peace Station Encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchB1508+55 is a fast-spinning neutron star and pulsar. It is heading out of the Milky Way Galaxy at a speed of 670 miles a second, propelled by an explosive kick it received at birth some 2.5 million years ago. It is thought this event was an implosion of the core of a star that took only a few seconds, resulting in explosive recoil that kicked the remnant so hard it is now leaving the Galaxy.
