The Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2 space probes each have a symbolic depiction of the location of our solar system relative to 14 of these objects. Burnell & Hewish discovered the first of these in 1967, and called the signal from the first "LGM-1", since they could not discount the possibility that this was a signal from "Little Green Men". Aleksander Wolszczan discovered the first extrasolar planet orbiting one of these bodies. Identify these types of neutron star, one of which can be found at the center of the Crab Nebula.

A Minkowski diagram can, in physics, be used to determine what an observer can observe, or what about an observer can be observed. On that diagram, the "present" is represented by a plane, while the paths of light to the observer from the past and from the observer into the future are represented by two of these shapes (assuming relatively flat space-time). What are these two 3-dimensional shapes which are joined at the plane of the present?
