Chia Min Tan, a Ph.D. Student from the Manchester's School of Physics and Astronomy has discovered the slowest-spinning pulsar star ever identified. Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating neutron stars or white dwarfs that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation. They are among the strangest objects in the universe and they spin extremely fast.
