This simulation shows the Chandra X-ray image of the Crab Nebula which fades to a model that rotates, then fades back to the X-ray image. The model of wisp motions includes wisps moving into a +/- 5 degree wedge at 0.53c.

  • I dont understand what the strands are doing in the animation; they seem to be clipped from one direction and then when the camera gets over the pole of the pulsar the clipping is reversed. The actual Chandra imagery looks like a ripplig spiral, not these oddly distance-clipped bands

  • Is this a simulation or an animation?!
