SPACE-CHANDRA-NEBULA
In this new image recieved April 7, 2009 from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, high-energy X-rays emanating from the nebula around PSR B1509-58. At the center of this image made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is a very young and powerful pulsar, known as PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short. A small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for this beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years. The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star which is spewing energy out into the space around it to create complex and intriguing structures, including one that resembles a large cosmic hand.
