NASA's Haunting Images Unveil Supernova Remnants 16,000 Light-Years Away
NASA has released new images of a dead star, known as PSR B1509-58, located 16,000 light-years away. The images were captured by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, providing scientists with insights into the dynamics of matter around the dead star and the magnetic field in the "hand" of the nebula. The telescope has also found similar patterns in other pulsar winds, suggesting that these patterns may be common.
