The Hand Of God

This amazing picture was taken by NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory from it’s orbiting 360 miles above the Earth.


According to NASA, this hand looking structure is caused by energizing knots of material in a neighboring gas cloud. Astronomers believe that this hand-shaped structure, known as PSR B1509-58 (created by a collapsed star), is roughly 1,700 years old and is located 17,000 light years from Earth.
