Astronomers have discovered ten strange dead stars, or "neutron stars," lurking near the heart of the Milky Way. These weirdo neutron stars are also spinning, meaning they are "pulsars." Scientists suspect the overly dense nature of this oddball globular cluster, located 18,000 light-years from Earth, could result in these rapidly spinning dead stars taking on bizarre and twisted forms.
The lot, for instance, includes several "spider pulsars" that destroy stars with plasma webs and a speed demon vampire star greedily feasting on its companion stars.
