Chandra X-ray Teleksop Space Agency's United States photographing the spiral galaxy M83 is 15 million light years from Earth. From that image, NASA aware of exploding stars.
Chandra X-ray succeeded in photographing a supernova observed in 1957. X-ray light from the supernova was successfully captured and imaged. Supernova is now making a pulsar star, the object is very dense and rapidly rotating and composed only of neutrons.
Supernova SN 1957D is captured, so named because it is the fourth supernova observed in 1957. In a galaxy, the supernova is located on the edge of the galaxy in the arm, above the center of the galaxy.
Galaxies and supernova image is captured through observation is the result of observation during the years 2010-2011 and was released on Monday (7/30/2012). On the existing image, colors are red, green, and blue in sequence shows the energy of X-rays.
Astronomers know, the supernova has become pulsars through analysis of the energy level that comes from SN 1957D. Furthermore, the pulsar will produce charged particles wrap around it, called a pulsar wind nebula.
"If this interpretation is correct, the pulsar was observed at the age 55tahun SN1957D, one of the youngest pulsar ever seen," said research team at NASA in a statement, as quoted by Space, Monday (30/07/2012). The results of this research will be published in The Astrophysical Journal.
