SPACE-US- CHANDRA-SUPERNOVA
This NASA image obtained November 20, 2014 shows an observation with Chandra of the supernova remnant MSH 11-62 as it reveals an irregular shell of hot gas, shown in red, surrounding an extended nebula of high energy X-rays, shown in blue. Even though scientists have yet to detect any pulsations from the central object within MSH 11-62, the structure around it has many of the same characteristics as other pulsar wind nebulas. The reverse shock and other, secondary shocks within MSH 11-62 appear to have begun to crush the pulsar wind nebula, possibly contributing to its elongated shape. (Note: the orientation of this image has been rotated by 24 degrees so that north is pointed to the upper left.)AFP PHOTO/NASA/CHANDRA X-RAY OBSERVATORY/HANDOUT = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO HANDOUT-NASA/CHANDRA X-RAY OBSERVATORY"/ NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS/ – NO A LA CARTE SALES / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS / =
