In today's world, Pulsar clock has become a topic of great relevance and interest to a wide spectrum of people and organizations. Whether due to its impact on society, its historical relevance or its influence on daily life, Pulsar clock has captured the attention of experts and the curious alike. In this article, we will explore the different facets of Pulsar clock, from its origins to its evolution today, analyzing its influence in various areas and reflecting on its importance for the future. Pulsar clock is a fascinating topic that invites us to reflect and question our perceptions, and we are excited to delve into its study in the pages that follow.
A pulsar clock is a clock which depends on counting radio pulses emitted by pulsars.
Pulsar clock in Gdańsk
The first pulsar clock in the world was installed in St. Catherine's Church, Gdańsk, Poland, in 2011.[1] It was the first clock to count the time using a signal source outside the Solar System, and represents the second type of clock to measure time using a signal source outside the Earth, after sundials. The pulsar clock consists of a radiotelescope with 16 antennas, which receive signals from six designated pulsars. Digital processing of the pulsar signals is done by an FPGA device.[2]
Pulsar clock in Brussels
On October 5, 2011, a display showing the exact time of the pulsar clock, as a repeater of Gdańsk's pulsar clock, was installed in the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium.[3]
