Since intraplate earthquakes are not near plate boundaries, give a general idea of what you think might cause them. Do the largest earthquakes cause the most deaths and the most damage to property? California is famous for earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault zone but there is another type of plate boundary where large earthquakes occur.
A pulsar is a neutron star that emits beams of radiation that sweep through Earth's line of sight. Like a black hole, it is an endpoint to stellar evolution. The pulses of high-energy radiation we see from a pulsar are due to a misalignment of the neutron star's rotation axis and its magnetic axis.ike a black hole, it is an endpoint to stellar evolution.

This dramatic NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, showing 10 times more detail, reveals the 'ant's body' as a pair of fiery lobes protruding from a dying, Sun-like star. Observed from ground-based telescopes, the so-called 'ant nebula' (Menzel 3, or Mz3) resembles the head and thorax of a common garden ant. Tantalising detail in ant-shaped nebula illuminates last moments of Sun-like stars.
