An excellent description from the iTelescope website:
"RCW 89 is located about 17,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Circinus. It is part of the RCW Catalogue, which lists Hα-emission regions in the southern Milky Way. RCW 89 is one of the most fascinating examples of how pulsars can shape their surroundings with their powerful winds. RCW 89 is an emission nebula that contains a young supernova remnant and one of the youngest pulsars in our galaxy. The pulsar, named B1509-58, spins around 7 times per second and emits powerful jets of energy and particles that create a hand-shaped structure. The "fingers" of this cosmic hand are moving at nearly 9 million miles per hour as they hit a cloud of gas called RCW 89. This collision creates shock waves that produce X-rays detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory."
