{{Update Science}}[[Image:Lonka Cluster pulsar.jpg|thumb|<center>A pulsar in the [[''Lonka Cluster]]'']][[Image:JaneWayChakotayPulsars.jpg|thumb|<center>A binary pulsar, viewed on the viewscreen of the USS ''Voyager'']]A '''pulsarseen via a ship''' is a type of [[star]], a rapidly rotating [[neutron star]] that sends out streams of [[electron]]s at nearly the [[speed of light]] along their magnetic poles. These [[subatomic particle]]s emit [[electromagnetic radiation]], including [[radio]] waves, visible [[lightviewscreen]], [[X-ray]]s, and [[gamma radiation|gamma rays]], such as that as the pulsar rotates they appear to "pulse" with light to an observer.
The [[Vandor system]] A '''pulsar''' is a type of [[binary star system]] consisting of a [[red giant]] and a pulsar.
In the mid-[[2360s]], the {{USS|Trieste}} was assigned by [[Star Fleet]] to undertake a pulsar research project.
The {{USS|Enterprise|NCC|1701-D}} conducted an astronomical survey More accurately, it is a rapidly rotating neutron star that sends out streams of a new pulsar cluster in electrons at nearly the speed of light along their magnetic poles. <br>These [[subatomic particle]]s emit [[Epsilon IX sectorelectromagnetic radiation]] in , including radio waves, visible light, and [[2365gamma radiation|gamma rays]], the rotation giving off the appearance of "pulsing" with light.
A pulsar of 4.356 solar masses is located in the [[Lonka Cluster]]. When [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]] was replaced by aliens in [[2366]], the doppleganger ordered the ''Enterprise'' dangerously close to that pulsar, to investigate the nature of authority.
[[Ensign]] [[Harry Kim]] gave an [[energy]] burst from a pulsar as a possible reason for the [[graviton ellipse]]'s course change in [[2376]].
Later that year, [[Reginald Barclay]] targeted a [[tachyon]] beam from the [[MIDAS array]] at a [[class B itinerant pulsar]], to create an [[artificial wormhole]] that allowed [[Star Fleet]] to contact ''Voyager''. The pulsar allowed two-way communications once every 32 days.

===Fun Facts:===* In [[2374]], the {{USS|Voyager}} discovered a binary pulsar system. [[Captain]] [[Kathryn Janeway]] later ordered ''Voyager'' to fly between the pulsars, forcing a [[Srivani]] research team to retreat from the ship but nearly destroying ''Voyager'' in the process.
* [[Derran TalReginald Barclay]] detected targeted a pulsar field from the [[Varro generational shiptachyon]] in beam from the [[2375MIDAS array]]. Howeverat a "Class B" itinerant pulsar, it was located near creating an inhabited [[star system]], and so she was unable to explore it due to the general artificial [[xenophobiawormhole]] amongst the which allowed [[VarroStar Fleet]]to contact {{USS|Voyager}}.** The pulsar allowed two-way communications once every 32 days.
[[Icheb]] said that when he was a [[Borg drone]], he never thought about what was outside the [[Borg cube|cube]]category: "pulsars, [[quasar]]s, [[nebulascience]]s".
