The images, captured by two of NASA’s X-ray telescopes, will allow scientists to learn more about the life spans of stars and what happens after they die.
The image is at once haunting and beautiful, resembling a ghostly purple and white hand reaching its fingers through the surrounding starry skies.
The telescopes captured the star’s magnetic field, generated by the motion of particles within the star’s interior and charged by the rising and falling of hot gas deep in their interiors,, operated through the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Harvard College Observatory. It’s this imaging that captured the purple and white hand-like figure.
When massive stars die in supernova explosions, they leave behind small, rotating neutron stars that have powerful magnetic fields.
