🧪 Pulsar Lighthouse Beam
This simulation demonstrates the phenomenon of a pulsar lighthouse beam, where a rotating neutron star emits beams of electromagnetic radiation that appear to sweep across space as the star rotates. It illustrates how relativistic effects and rotation contribute to this observable effect in astronomical objects. The simulation allows users to explore the properties of these beams.
