This is a public domain file from Wikimedia Commons, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Millisecond_pulsar_and_accretion_disk_-_NASA_animation_%28hi-res%29.ogv This is the description from Wikimedia Commons........... Animation showing neutron star and accretion disk evolving into a millisecond pulsar, with magnetic fields. The formation of a pulsar: A star in a binary star system has collapsed to a neutron star. It begins to gain material from its companion star (known as "accretion"). The infalling matter causes it to speed up and begin emitting high energy radiation, eventually forming a pulsar rotating at up to 1000 times a second.
