Time-Lapse Movie Of Crab Pulsar Wind

A movie from the Chandra website regarding the Crab Nebula (diameter of 11 ly, 6,500 ly from Earth). Source- http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2002/0052/movies.html images- http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2002/0052/index.html

'This movie shows dynamic rings, wisps and jets of matter and antimatter around the pulsar in the Crab Nebula as observed in X-ray light by Chandra (left, blue) and optical light by Hubble (right, red). The movie was made from 7 still images of Chandra and Hubble observations taken between November 2000 and April 2001. To produce a movie of reasonable length the sequence was looped several times, as in looped weather satellite images. The inner ring is about one light year across.'

@honeyphanlies Because "C" means "See" and "R" means "Our"? And where's the "Rock" come into play? And what are you smoking because the rest of us want some.

[emerychandler]

the speed and power of the solar wind must be extreme. a steller ship would be knocked around by that power. doesnt it emit high radio frequncies too?

I just "crabbed" my pants after seeing that, cool!

[honeyphanlies]

CRAB means 'see our AB rock' or the false pairing of God or his true wife with a phony jesus bot alien who looks like Gerry Butler the actor. YUP. Hollywood is a bunch of aliens, which shouldn't be too hard for ANYONE to believe.

[honeyphanlies]

AND - they try to blame God for *THEIR* bullshit.

[honeyphanlies]

This is evidence of the evil AntiMatter alien phony second coming blowing earth back in time. The same type of thing they assholes are trying to pull right now on Earthlings.

loved this when I first downloaded it.. Always impressive to see astronomical events in human-time-units..A blackhole jet 20k LY long can't do this!

Fascinating as always. thanks
