Summary

Description
English: The sequence of images begins with an infra-red view of the area around the pulsar PSR B1509-58. The view then zooms into an optical image, which shows a surrounding cloud of gas. Next, a composite image with optical and Chandra X-ray data (in colour) shows the effects of an energetic wind powered by the pulsar. The X-ray emission results from very energetic electrons spiralling in a magnetic field. Finger-like structures extend to the upper right and energize knots of material in the gas cloud. The sequence ends with an X-ray/radio composite and a final image that includes the three wavelengths of X-ray, radio, and infra-red emission.
