For the first time ever, the surface of a pulsar has been mapped using NASA's NICER X-ray telescope. NASA's Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) made the first surface map of the pulsar PSR J0030+0451, a millisecond pulsar located 1100 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. But the surface maps don't look like the traditional magnetic dipole model we're used to. Instead, two - or three - X-ray hotspots were all found in the pulsar's south polar region!
