Unexplained Energy Explosion: The Mystery of the Vela Pulsar and its Gamma Ray Emission

Amira Shehata wrote Saturday, October 7, 2023 04:00 AM The Earth was exposed to an energy explosion from a dead star that was so powerful that scientists cannot fully explain it, and the intense gamma rays that were discovered using a large system of telescopes in Namibia, emanated from the star Vela Pulsar. About 1,000 light-years from Earth, it is a type of remnant of a massive star that exploded an estimated 10,000 years ago and then collapsed in on itself. According to what the British newspaper “Daily Mail” reported, British astronomer Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell was the first person to discover this type of star in 1967, but this study represents the highest energy rays from a pulsar so far. This does not mean that aliens are trying to contact us, according to study researcher Arache Djannati-Atai of the Laboratory of Astroparticle & Cosmology (APC) in France. He told MailOnline: ‘It is true that when they were first discovered in 1967, the sources were named LGM1 and LGM2 after the aliens, but that was almost a joke.’ “We know for sure that pulsars are the corpses of massive stars and no alien intelligence is needed to produce the signals we see on Earth,” the researcher added. These pulsars are described as the remains of stars that have exploded spectacularly, the largest explosion to occur in space. These pulsars emit rotating beams of electromagnetic radiation, somewhat like cosmic lighthouses. If its beam passes through our solar system, we see flashes of radiation at regular time intervals. These flashes, also called radiation pulses, can be searched for in different energy bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
