Alex Rodriguez will have arthroscopic hip surgery Monday and is expected to miss six to nine weeks. The Yankees slugger will need further surgery after the season.The diagnosis by Dr. Marc Philippon on Sunday was yet another jolt to Rodriguez during a tumultuous month in which the three-time AL MVP admitted using steroids from 2001-03 while with Texas.Philippon spoke from Vail, Colo., on a conference call with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. Philippon, a noted hip specialist, will perform the procedure. Also on the call was team physician Chris Ahmad.The decision eliminates the option of Rodriguez treating the injury with rest and rehab and

See that purple stream at the bottom right It the helical jet from a runaway pulsar that streaking across the Milky Way at speeds reaching five million mph. But more extraordinary than that is how freakishly long this thing is. A pulsar is a type of rapidly spinning neutron star, which is the small and incredibly dense remnant of a much mor

https://youtube/watch v=enWxwkFVbMs The pulsar is called IGR J11014-6103 and it was imaged by NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory. It located about 60 light-years from the center of the supernova that created it, SNR MSH 11-61A. It one of the fastest pulsars ever observed. NASA estimates its speed as being somewhere between 2.5 million and 5 million mph about 1000 km/s . We ;ve never seen an object that moves this fast and also produces a jet, said Lucia Pavan of the University of Geneva in Switzerland in a NASA statement. By comparison, this jet is almost 10 times longer than the distance between the sun and our nearest star. That over 37 light-years in length. In addition to its impressive span, it has a distinct corkscrew pattern that suggests it wobbling like a spinning top. It also generating a cocoon of high-energy particles, called a pulsar wind n
