Crab Nebula

from dacca · host dacca

Here's a short excerpt of NASA's description of the beautiful Crab Nebula: "The combination of rapid rotation and a strong magnetic field in the Crab generates an intense electromagnetic field that creates jets of matter and anti-matter moving away from both the north and south poles of the pulsar, and an intense wind flowing out in the equatorial direction." ------------- Art (composite image - Chandra X-Ray / Hubble / Spitzer) - cropped by me from the original. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/images/a-crab-walks-through-time.html
