Galaxys biggest telescope harnesses most precise measurement of spinning star An international team of astronomers has made a measurement of a distant neutron star that is a million times more precise than the previous world’s best. The researchers were able to use the interstellar medium, the empty space between stars and galaxies that is made up of sparsely spread charged particles, as a giant lens to magnify and look closely at the radio wave emission from a small rotating neutron star = being able to see the double-helix structure of our genes from the Moon!
