Jan 9, 2014 · The new image depicts a pulsar wind nebula, produced by the dense remnant of a star that exploded in a supernova. What's left behind is a pulsar, called PSR B1509-58 (B1509 for short), which...
May 14, 2014 · Hand of God. This object may look to some like a hand X-rayed at the doctor's office, but it is actually a cloud of material ejected from a star that exploded. Nicknamed the "Hand of God," this object is called a pulsar wind nebula.
Cometary Globule 4 (CG4), also nicknamed as the 'Hand of God' Nebula, is a dusty star-forming region approximately 1,300 light-years away from Earth and can be seen in the constellation of Puppis. Cometary globules are named as such because their shapes somewhat resemble comets.
