• Precision Pulsar Positions Used By Astronomers To Break Record
  ASTRON An international team of scientists led by astronomer Adam Deller (ASTRON) have used the Very Long Baseline Array ( VLBA ) to set a new distance accuracy record, pegging a pulsar called PSR J2222-0137 at 871.4 light-years from Earth. They did this by observing the object over a two-year period to detect its parallax, the slight shift in apparent position against background objects when ...

• Andrew Lyne in Newstrack India (blog)
  They have what we call 'pulsar timing noise', where the spin rate appears to wander around all over the place. This had baffled people for decades,he added.
• Maciej Konacki in Space Ref (press release)
  Surprisingly, the planetary system around this pulsar resembles our own solar system more than any extrasolar planetary system discovered around a Sun-like star,Konacki says.
• Shia LaBeouf in FemaleFirst.co.uk
  Because our observations practically rule out a possible presence of an even more distant, massive planet or planets around the pulsar, it is quite possible that the tiny fourth planet is the largest member of a cloud of interplanetary debris at...

The other five really was too much. If you can feel your skin bubble because of the heat, you have to draw the line. I saw my skin pulsate - like there were little worms beneath it."
