HEAPOW: Blue Crab (2008 Nov 16)
People from the Chesapeake Bay Area should appreciate this, an x-ray photo from Chandra of the pulsar at the heart of the Crab Nebula. The spinning pulsar and jets of matter and anti-matter aren't as obvious in the normal visible light photos of the Crab. But I was wondering, with so much matter and anti-matter spewing from the pulsar, why aren't there more spectacular displays from the Crab?

I don't know, Bystander.
If man were made to fly he wouldn't need alcohol .. lots and lots and lots of alcohol to get through the furors while maintaining the fervors.
