Are planets still being formed?

The video discusses the discovery of Earth-like planets orbiting a pulsar neutron star, a remnant of a supernova explosion. These planets were detected using precise Doppler shift measurements. The formation of these planets post-explosion suggests that planet formation is a robust process, indicating a vast number of planets in the Milky Way galaxy.

How does the timing of the pulsar's beam help in measuring the properties of the neutron star?
