- Quick Look: Cosmic Hand Hitting a Wall
- Description
- Astronomers have captured a cosmic "hand" hitting a wall. The "hand" is actually a nebula of energy and particles generating by a pulsar. As a blast wave from an exploded star moves through space, it is running into a cloud of gas. This result comes from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory spanning 14 years.
