The electromagnetic signature left behind by a dead star, resembling a hand skeleton, was imaged by NASA’s X-ray space telescopes. The view is truly fascinating.
A giant cosmic hand skeleton viewed. No, this is not content about superheroes, which appear in 61637 productions per year. In our reality, somewhere in space, there is a hand skeleton-like structure formed by the electromagnetic signature of a dead star that resembles a hand.
NASA’s X-ray telescopes Thanks to this structure, this structure was displayed. The image presented was truly frightening.
The remnant of a star that died 1500 years ago
From this about 1,500 years ago, a giant star in our galaxy collapsed in on itself after running out of its “nuclear fuel”. Thus, it turned into a neutron star, an extremely dense celestial body.
As neutron stars rotate very quickly around their own axes, they reach extreme points that cannot be replicated on Earth and push the limits of physics. Younger structures, called pulsars, are often matter and antimatter sprays. This forms the basis of magnificent images.
In 2001, NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory Pulsar PSR B1509-58 and its surrounding nebula (MSH 15-52), observed for the first time by , resemble a human hand. The neutron star rests in the palm of the hand figure. The celestial body is 16 thousand light years away from Earth.

NASA’s new X-ray telescope X-ray Polormeter Explorer (IXPE), Observed MSH 15-52 for 17 days. As a result of this observation process, it was revealed how the electromagnetic fields in the nebula were shaped. It is assumed that the brightness in the wrist part of the hand is caused by the density and turbulence in this part.
Results of the research ‘The Astrophysical Journal’also published.
