The hand might look like an X-ray from the doctor&#8217;s office, but it is actually a cloud of material ejected from a star that exploded. NASA&#8217;s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has imaged the structure in high-energy X-rays for the first time, shown in blue. Lower-energy X-ray light previously detected by NASA&#8217;s Chandra X-ray Observatory is shown in green and red. <\/p>\n<p>Nicknamed the &#8220;Hand of God,&#8221; this object is called a pulsar wind nebula. It&#8217;s powered by the leftover, dense core of a star that blew up in a supernova explosion. The stellar corpse, called PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short, is a pulsar: it rapidly spins around, seven times per second, firing out a particle wind into the material around it &#8212; material that was ejected in the star&#8217;s explosion. These particles are interacting with magnetic fields around the material, causing it to glow with X-rays. The result is a cloud that, in previous images, looked like an open hand. The pulsar itself can&#8217;t be seen in this picture, but is located near the bright white spot.<\/p>\n<p>One of the big mysteries of this object is whether the pulsar particles are interacting with the material in a specific way to make it look like a hand, or if the material is in fact shaped like a hand. <\/p>\n<p>NuSTAR&#8217;s view is providing new clues to the puzzle. The hand actually shrinks in the NuSTAR image, looking more like a fist, as indicated by the blue color. The northern region, where the fingers are located, shrinks more than the southern part, where a jet lies, implying the two areas are physically different. <\/p>\n<p>The red cloud at the end of the finger region is a different structure, called RCW 89. Astronomers think the pulsar&#8217;s wind is heating the cloud, causing it to glow with lower-energy X-ray light.<\/p>\n<p>In this image, X-ray light seen by Chandra with energy ranges of 0.5 to 2 kiloelectron volts (keV) and 2 to 4 keV is shown in red and green, respectively, while X-ray light det<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e: nustar.caltech.edu<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{},"post":114822,"source_url":"https:\/\/investigator.org.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/642730edf2538d481079d2ba5c62afde.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/investigator.org.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114823"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/investigator.org.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/investigator.org.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investigator.org.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investigator.org.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114823"}]}}
