With some pulsars note to rotate as fast as times 700 times per second. Since the Pulsar is leftover core material from a supernova otherwise known as a Neutron star. This super power orb fuels itself. Pulsars are so dense that according to NASA if you were to scoop up a square inch block of this stuff it would weigh about as much as Mount Everest.

4. Drake

Whoever discovers alien life deserves their own party on the nearest alcohol cloud, but they would owe a lot to Frank Drake. In 1961 Drake devised a calculation in which the number of stars with intelligent civilizations must be equal to several strict interstellar variables. Called the “Drake Equation” it determined the probability of advanced beings dwelling elsewhere in the cosmos the equation has been a foundation for extraterrestrial research.

Even though it wasn’t until the 1995 that we officially discovered the first planet outside of our own solar system. More recently scientists Manasvi Lingam and Abraham Loeb discovered unexplained fast radio bursts of intense light coming from a deep corner of the galaxy that they believed to be artificial in origin. Based on what we know about the planets in our own galaxy they gave a healthy estimate that there could be around 10000 intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way.

5. Ghost Planet

Speaking of anomalies there’s one in our own backyard that could change the way we view our solar system. First spotted in 2014, astronomers notice that six objects in the frozen Kuiper belt on the far outskirts of our Suns orbit were all moving in the same direction, outside of the regions normal orbit. Some astronomers believe the best explanation for this is that there is an entirely new planet out there, it’s believed to be the size of Neptune making a regular orbit around the Sun. It would be only the third new planet discovered in our solar system since ancient civilizations.
