The Vela Pulsar's Dynamic Jet

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Vela pulsar, a neutron star, was born over 10,000 years ago in a massive supernova explosion. X-ray images from the Chandra Observatory show details of its nebula and a spectacular jet of high-energy particles. This time-lapse series shows the jet appearing to dance like an out-of-control firehose, shooting along the pulsar's direction of motion.
