Pulsars are highly magnetised, rapidly rotating neutron stars — the ultra-dense remnants left behind when a massive star ends its life in a supernova explosion. They emit narrow beams of radio waves that sweep across space like a lighthouse, producing precise pulses detectable by radio telescopes on Earth. Some pulsars display a puzzling behaviour called nulling, where their radio emission abruptly becomes undetectable, or drops far below its normal level, for periods ranging from a handful of p...
