Pulsars emit rapid pulses of radiation at regular intervals; their periods are in the range of 0.001 to 10 seconds. The rotating neutron star acts like a lighthouse, sweeping its beam in a circle and giving us a pulse of radiation when the beam sweeps over Earth. As pulsars age, they lose energy, t

Over time you have detected that the time interval between the pulses from the pulsar is changing. Intrigued, you set about to discover what is happening by studying a graph of the pulsar’s periods.
