Is this just not incredible??



A quote.... "

At the center of a new image made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is a very young and powerful pulsar, known as PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short. The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star which is spewing energy out into the space around it to create complex and intriguing structures, including one that resembles a large cosmic hand."

If I can find a bigger image, it'll make a great desktop on the PC.

The Chandra Observatory site often has the pics set up so you can download to your desktop. It's like the Hubble Telescope site. I download a lot of pics from these places. They're very cool.

Under Gallery, look under exotic; they've got some pictures worth leaving the planet for, LOL.
