Catharine Smith, a Huffington Post writer covering the story, explains that "The bright blueish-white light is the pulsar, which spans only 12 miles and rotates at a blazing speed of seven times per second. It was created by the collapse of a massive star about 1,700 years ago, and has become "one of the most powerful electromagnetic generators in the Galaxy," according to the Chandra Observatory's report."
