> Discovered in 2018, PSR J0026–1955 is a Galactic pulsar with a spin period of approximately 1.306 seconds and dispersion measure of 20.81 pc/cm3. It has a spin-down luminosity of 23 nonillion erg/s, surface magnetic field strength of 770 billion Gauss, and its characteristic age is estimated to be some 47 million years.

Fascinating.

I have no idea what any of those words mean.
