According to reports, astronomers could see a rare celestial firework display after three years. NASA said that it may observe a pulsar, similar to the size to a city on Earth in the early months of 2018. It has been reported that it could be seen falling through the cloud of gas and dust nearby one of the brightest stars.

This may lead to creation of a "cosmic light show". Rotating neutron stars - greatly dense stars that are created by a huge star collapsing in on itself - lead to formation of pulsars. Pulsar releases high-energy radiation resembling a lighthouse casting beams of light, when it rotates. These pulses can be detected by making use of radio and gamma ray telescopes, when this beam of high-energy radiation is pointed in the direction of Earth.

J2032+4127 is the pulsar which is being observed at present. It is said to be approximately 12 miles across and it weighs almost twice as much as the sun.

According to Paul Ray, an astrophysicist at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, "When we discovered this pulsar in 2009, we noticed that it was in the same direction as this massive star in the constellation Cygnus, but our initial measurements did not give any evidence that either star was a member of a binary system".

He added that this conclusion could have been reached if the binary system had a very long orbital period, even longer than the longest known pulsar-massive star binary at the time. Scientists expect that the phenomenon could help them find out the huge star's magnetic field, gravity and stellar wind.
