Scientific illustration of Earth at the center of a pulsar timing array, surrounded by glowing pulsars and a blue spacetime grid.

A clean, high-resolution scientific illustration of a pulsar timing array in deep space. At the exact center: planet Earth, small but crisp, with several tiny but clearly visible radio telescopes placed firmly on Earth’s surface on different continents (not floating in space). Around Earth, distribute many pulsars in a spherical shell: each pulsar is a glowing sphere with two and only two cones, exactly opposite one another, representing its electromagnetic beams (like a lighthouse). From every pulsar, draw a thin glowing electromagnetic beam that travels through space and connects to a telescope on Earth. The fabric of spacetime fills the scene as a semi-transparent 3D grid that is randomly and chaotically distorted, suggesting a stochastic gravitational-wave background; the grid should warp and ripple at multiple scales. Space is dark with a subtle starfield. Lighting is soft with gentle glows: pulsar cones emit a warm white light; the connecting beams are cool cyan/teal; the spacetime grid is faint bluish-violet. Slight depth-of-field, mild atmospheric bloom, high detail, balanced composition, no labels. No written text, no symbols, no UI, no watermark. Illustration, not photorealistic. See more
