NASA has discovered the “arm of a giant skeleton” in deep space

This unusual cosmic object will help shed light on the process by which magnetic fields interact with the environment in nebulae formed by pulsars. Earth science already has, says Stanford University’s Niccolo Di Lalla, enough material to study the behaviour of super-energetic matter and antimatter particles around the pulsar. Moreover, researchers have already drawn an important conclusion – pulsars can act as natural particle accelerators.
