Cool picture! I like it!
Actually, a pulsar is a rapidly rotating small white neutron star.
There is one in the Crab Nebula, the remains of a super nova, a widely-observed event, by Arab, Chinese, and Japanese astronomers recording the star's appearance in 1054 CE.
It's now known to be a small neutron star about 28 to 30 kilometers in diameter rotating at about 30.2 revolutions per second!!!

The picture of the blue star is cool!

Wasn't the Crab Nebula discussed by Carl Sagan in the original "Cosmos" series? I seem to remember him saying it was the only supernova in historical times thus far that was visible to the naked eye.
