Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the extremely dense remains of collapsed supergiant stars. They emit strong magnetic fields, causing them to shoot highly energized particles out in jets, forming a pulsar wind nebula. "The charged particles producing the X-rays travel along the magnetic field, determining the basic shape of the nebula, like the bones do in a person's hand," said Stanford University's Roger Romani, lead author of aNASA's IXPE focused its instruments on the nebula for a whopping 17 days, representing the longest observation of a single object since it was launched in 2021, per NASA.
