Can you see pulsars with the naked eye?

Answer 1

Rarely.

But if a star that is normally visible with the naked eye during the night does go supernova, you will definitely see it -some have. In some cases it may even be visible during the day.

Answer 2

That would have a lot to do with where it's located, as there are stars spread

between roughly 4.2 and 13.5 billion light years from us.

If it's near enough and bright enough so that it peaks brighter than a visual

magnitude of 5 or 6, then it would be naked-eye visible from Earth.

Answer 3

Yes. many have been. SN1054 [See related link] was visible during the day for 23 days.

Answer 4

No. They are too small and have very little luminosity. Also, they are a long way away. The closest known pulsar is about 280 light years from us.

Answer 5

No, pulsars cannot be seen with the naked eye. They emit radio waves, which are not visible to the human eye. They are usually observed using radio telescopes or other specialized equipment.
