A pulsar is racing through an exploded star at over 1 million miles per hour.
It was created when a massive star ran out of fuel, collapsed and exploded.
Images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2006 and 2016 show the motion.
Sharp X-ray vision plus careful analysis led to the discovery of this remarkable speed.
