Description:
PSR B1951+32 is a pulsar surrounded by a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). This PWN takes its place as the centerpiece of this image. It pulsates with life, its energetic emissions shaping the surrounding space and illuminating the cosmic tapestry. The pulsar at the center, surrounded by its pulsar wind nebula, emits powerful beams of radiation as it rapidly rotates. These emissions influence the surrounding space and provide a unique backdrop to the cosmic scene. The radio pulsar PSR B1951+32 was discovered by Kulkarni et al. (1988) and Clifton et al. in the core of the galactic SNR CTB80, as suggested by Strom (1987).
