«Observations with multiple space telescopes have revealed that, while other neutron stars
spin multiple times a minute, this object rotates only once about every 6.5 hours — making it by far the
slowest -
spinning star
in its
class discovered to date,» said David Burrows, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State.
Like the original, this isn't so much a pedal - to - the - metal thrill ride and more a master
class in slow, mounting tension: Gears grind, wheels
spin, brakes fail, bridges collapse, tropical rain thunders, and the drivers (and their incendiary cargo) sweat, quiver and threaten to explode at any minute.
