Astronomers looked through telescopes to notice that a particular star was turning "off" and "on". With new coming technology we've found that this is not true- finding out that these stars spin, some up to 800+ times per millisecond.

How are pulsars related to supernovas?

Pulsars are formed during a supernova event when a massive star explodes, leaving behind a dense core called a neutron star. As this neutron star rotates rapidly, it emits beams of radiation that we detect as pulses, hence the name "pulsars." So, pulsars are directly related to the remnants of supernova explosions.
