NASA reveals observation results from the space telescope ‘IXPE’. When observed through X-rays, it was shaped like a human finger bone. It was formed by particles spread through a magnetic field flow. The ‘MSH 15-52’ nebula was recently revealed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It was taken with an X-ray, and it looks similar to a human finger bone. It is 16,000 light years away from Earth. Provided by NASA A nebula that resembles a human finger bone was captured in distant space, 16,000 light-years away from Earth. This photo was taken with A joint research team led by NASA and Stanford University scientists announced that they had succeeded in capturing and taking pictures of X-rays coming from the ‘MSH 15-52’ nebula, located 16,000 light-years away from Earth. The research results were published in the latest issue of the international academic journal ‘Astrophysical Journal’. The nebula in the photo released by NASA this time resembles a human finger bone. The shape of the five fingers and palm is relatively distinct. It looks like a picture taken when your hand was taken with an X-ray machine operated by a hospital. The ‘MSH 15-52’ nebula itself was first captured through It is a space telescope named ‘IXPE’ that was launched in 2008. It floats 600km above the Earth and detects only X-rays. We look at the universe with different ‘eyes’ than the Hubble Space Telescope, which specializes in visible light, or the James Webb Space Telescope, which captures infrared light. So why does the ‘MSH 15-52’ nebula have a bizarre appearance that resembles a finger bone? This is because of the ‘pulsar’, the bright dot at the wrist area in the photo. A pulsar is a type of rapidly rotating neutron star. From a pulsar, ‘charged particles’ such as protons and electrons, which form X-rays, and a magnetic field are emitted. The charged particles move along the flow of the magnetic field. It is similar to the falling leaves that occur in the fall season and are scattered on the streets by the wind. NASA believes that the magnetic field that started from the pulsar first headed toward the wrist, then changed direction and moved toward the palm and fingers, causing turbulence, resulting in the unique shape of the ‘MSH 15-52′ nebula.’MSH 15 The star that created the -52’ nebula before it became a pulsar exploded about 1,500 years ago. At that time, the Korean Peninsula was in the Three Kingdoms period. From a cosmic perspective, where time calculations in hundreds of millions of years are common, it is a star that exploded relatively recently. NASA said, “Through the data obtained from IXPE, we were able to analyze the magnetic field flow of the ‘MSH 15-52’ nebula for the first time. Observation through X-rays will be an opportunity to obtain more hidden information about the celestial body.” He said.
