COSMIC MESSAGE

At the center of the Crab Nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a magnetized neutron star spinning 30 times a second. This composite image combines optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope, shown in red, and X-ray images from the Chandra Observatory, shown in blue. The pulsar acts like a cosmic dynamo, powering the nebula's X-ray and optical emissions by accelerating charged particles.
