And even more exotic processes arising from the generation of relativistic electrons within a target can be exploited to produce not just particle beams, but novel sources of X-ray radiation.

Pulsars are the remnants of large stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 stunning pulsar images shared by NASA.
