Description

When a massive star runs out of thermonuclear fuel, it implodes, forming a dense stellar core called a neutron star. The outer layers of the star collapse toward the neutron star then bounce outward in a supernova explosion. Studies with the Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that the explosion may have created a spinning neutron star
known as a pulsar
in the southern edge of this nebula
