The pulsar might be considered the lighthouse of space. It "flashes" or "blinks" at different rates depending on its speed of rotation. Pulsars (pulsating stars) are spinning neutron stars that are highly magnetized. Their spin, coupled with their emission of higly direction oriented "beams" of radiation, makes them appear to pulsate in a lighthouse effect. And that's how they got their nickname. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the pulsar.
