We think the apple's rotten right to the core 🍏 The eerie glow of a dead star, which exploded long ago in a supernova, reveals itself in this NASAHubble image of the Crab Nebula. But don't be fooled: the ghoulish-looking object still has a pulse. Buried at the center is the star's tell-tale heart, which beats with rhythmic precision. The "heart" is the crushed core of the exploded star. Known as a neutron star, it has the same mass as the Sun, but is squeezed into an ultra-dense sphere that is only a few miles across. The tiny powerhouse is the bright star-like object in the center of the image. Image description: Swirls of bright green hues fill this view of space. In the center, the bright “heart” of the Crab Nebula can be seen. Stars dot the sky in the distance. Credit: NASA and ESA #NASA #Space #Astronomy #Hubble #CrabNebula #Green #BratSummer #Brat
