Star’s dusty remains illuminated by telescopes

A new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope shows the dusty remains of a collapsed star. The composite image of G54.1.3 shows X-rays from Chandra in blue, and data from Spitzer in green (shorter wavelength infrared) and red-yellow (longer wavelength infrared). Scientists think that a pulsar (the white source in the center) is sending off a wind that is heating up remnant supernova dust. The dusty remains of a collapsed star can be seen flying past and engulfing a nearby family of stars in new images from NASA’s Chandra and Spitzer space telescopes.
