The first exoplanet was found orbiting a pulsar — a rapidly spinning dead star. Now scientists propose searching for such worlds by their radio glow, which appears when a planet plows into a wind of particles racing at nearly the speed of light. This could unveil dozens of invisible planets in the most extreme corners of the galaxy.

🎯 Planets around pulsars are one of the most extreme places in the Universe: magnetic fields there are trillions of times stronger than Earth's, and the particle wind is accelerated to near light-speed.
