📡 Millisecond pulsars emit radio signals from unexpected places!

A CSIRO & Max Planck study of ~200 pulsars found a third broadcast radio waves from two regions – not just near the surface, but also from a "current sheet" beyond the light cylinder, where magnetic fields whip around at near light speed.

Signals match gamma-ray data from NASA's Fermi telescope.
