Pulsar, artwork
Pulsar, computer artwork. A pulsar (upper right), a rapidly rotating neutron star, is the collapsed super-dense core of a massive star that has blown off its outer layers in a supernova. It casts out narrow beams of energy (gamma radiation, coloured rays) as it rotates. The beams are confined by extremely strong magnetic fields (not seen) that emanate from the star

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Pulsar" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of space. The print showcases the enigmatic beauty of a pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star that emerges from the remnants of an exploded massive star. Against a backdrop of infinite blackness, this computer-generated illustration captures the essence of this celestial phenomenon. In the upper right corner, we witness the pulsar itself, its intense rotation emitting narrow beams of energy in vibrant gamma radiation hues. These colored rays symbolize the immense power and cosmic dance performed by this collapsed super-dense core. Although unseen in this artwork, it is crucial to note that these beams are confined by incredibly strong magnetic fields emanating from within. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth not only astrophysical accuracy but also an artistic flair that elevates our appreciation for theoretical physics and astrophysics alike. Through Claus Lunau's creation, we are reminded of how intricately interwoven art and science can be. This awe-inspiring print invites us to contemplate our place in the vast expanse of space while marveling at nature's ability to create such extraordinary phenomena. It serves as a visual testament to humanity's continuous exploration and understanding of our universe's wonders - from stellar energies to magnetic fields - all encapsulated within one striking image.
