NASA: Hubble Examines a Busy Galactic Center

"This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy IC 4709 located around 240 million light-years away in the southern constellation Telescopium. Hubble beautifully captures its faint halo and swirling disk filled with stars and dust bands. The compact region at its core might be the most remarkable sight. It holds an active galactic nucleus (AGN)."

Chandra.Harvard.Edu: "RCW 103: Young Magnetar Likely the Slowest Pulsar Ever Detected"

#SomewhereDeepInTheNight #ToTheSky #ScienceRules #AstronomyNews #KeepLookingUp

"Observers had previously agreed that 1E 1613 is a neutron star, an extremely dense star created by the supernova that produced RCW 103. However, the regular variation in the X-ray brightness of the source, with a period of about six and a half hours, presented a puzzle."
