Schematic picture of binary pulsar PSR1913+16. Two neutron stars circle each other closely in elliptical orbits. Their mean separation is only a few times greater than that of the Earth and the Moon. One orbit takes only about eight hours. When the stars pass close to each other they will predictably emit large amounts of gravitational radiation. Studies of the changes in orbital motion have shown that this also appears to be the case.

Dieses gravitativ wirksame Neutronensternpaar soll - wie die anderen Neutronensterne und die weissen Zwerge - die absolute Ungefährlichkeit der von CERN gerne bereits im Jahr 2006 angegangenen Experimente garantieren | Dank an Herrn Kannenberg für den aufschlussreichen Suchbegriff
