Soon there is a navigation system for the spacecraft

GPS satellite navigation system has no effect in the universe. But scientists think it is possible to create a navigation system in the universe, in which the stars are 'beacons' to guide the spacecraft.

When stars reach a size larger than our sun, their life is about to end with a big explosion, producing neutron stars. Neutron stars radiate very strong magnetic fields, forming light beams in a certain direction.

Neutron stars rotate very quickly and if these beams point towards the earth, we will see periodic radiation pulses. Neutron stars are called metaphors.

A group of scientists at the Max Planck Research Institute (Germany) is developing the spacecraft positioning technology based on the X-ray beams emitted by the pulses.

Periodic signals are relatively stable compared to atomic clocks, and provide characteristic time symbols so they can become natural positioning signals, similar to GPS satellites to locate on the left. land.
