NASA Captures ‘Flame-Throwing Guitar’ Nebula ‘Rocking Out’ In Space

NASA Captures ‘Flame-Throwing Guitar’ Nebula ‘Rocking Out’ In Space

In a remarkable discovery, astronomers have found a nebula in space that resembles a flame-throwing guitar. This stunning phenomenon was observed thanks to the collaborative efforts of NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. Known as the Guitar Nebula, it showcases the cosmic artistry of a collapsed star emitting energetic particles in a display that resembles a guitar shooting flames into the vastness of space.

A captivating NASA video highlights Chandra’s crucial role in capturing a filament of energetic particles at the top of the guitar-shaped structure. The video describes the scene as a ‘flame-throwing guitar’ moving through space, with X-rays from Chandra revealing a filament of energetic matter and antimatter particles stretching about two light-years long, emanating from the pulsar.

At the heart of this cosmic guitar lies a pulsar named PSR B2224+65, a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits regular pulses of radiation. The dynamic energy of the pulsar is responsible for shaping the nebula into its distinctive form. According to NASA, the guitar-like shape is created by bubbles formed by particles ejected from the pulsar through a continuous wind.

The video showcases the movement of the pulsar and its filament through space, based on data collected by Chandra from 2000 to 2021. Additionally, observations from the Hubble Space Telescope from 1994 to 2021 capture the motion of the pulsar and surrounding features.

An analysis of the data reveals that the same variations in the interstellar medium that create bubbles in the hydrogen nebula, giving it the guitar-like outline, also impact the emission of particles to the right of the pulsar. This activity results in fluctuations in the brightness of the X-ray filament, resembling a cosmic blowtorch extending from the guitar’s tip.

The formation of the filament sheds light on the movement of electrons and positrons through space, providing insights into how these particles navigate the interstellar medium and contribute to the surrounding environment.

These groundbreaking findings have been detailed in a study published in The Astrophysical Journal.
