About this work
"Planets caught in the horrifying grip of an undead star - PSR B1257+12 presents Zombie Worlds: Poltergeist Draugr Phobetor" - "These doomed worlds were among the first and creepiest to be discovered as they orbit an undead star known as a pulsar. Pulsar planets like Poltergeist and its neighboring worlds, Phobetor and Draugr, are consumed with constant radiation from the star’s core. Nothing but the undead can subsist in this most inhospitable corner of the galaxy." Poster from the NASA Exoplanets Exploration Program's Exoplanet Travel Bureau
