Because of their axis of rotation. It that axis is not pointing towards Earth, the pulses are not detected and they are just classified as a neutron star.

Why aren't all neutron stars seen as pulsars?

Not all neutron stars are seen as pulsars because pulsars emit beams of radiation that are only visible if they are pointed towards Earth. If a neutron star's beams are not aligned with our line of sight, it will not appear as a pulsar.


How are rotating neutron stars able to produce pulses of radiation as seen by an observer on Earth?

Neutron stars are able to produce pulses of radiation because they are rotating, and only a certain place on the neutron star releases the radiation(just like how light comes out of a flashlight). As the neutron star rotates, the point on the neutron star also moves along. When it points toward the Earth, we see the pulse.

Why can't stars be seen from the moon?

Stars can't be seen from the surface of the moon during the daytime because the brightness of the sun overwhelms the faint light of the stars. In the lunar night, stars can be seen, but due to the lack of a significant atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light, they appear much brighter and can make it difficult to see fainter stars.


If you wanted to study a neutron star would you use a visible light telescope or an x ray telescope?

Mostly neutron stars are detected with radio telescopes. Some can actually be seen with optical telescopes, and these are all optical pulsars. Neutron stars were discovered because they are radio sources. The first star known to be a neutron star was the Crab Nebula neutron star, or Crab Pulsar, which was discovered to be a neutron star because of its radio emissions in 1965. Its apparent magnitude is 16.5. This puts it beyond the abilities of most amateur telescopes.
