Chandra X-ray Observatory | Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Catches Pulsar in X-ray Speed Trap @ChandraXray | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
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.
