Hey Space Fans!

Normally found only in heavy metal bands, a “flame-throwing guitar” has been spotted moving through #space.

The tip of the guitar is a pulsar, pumping out a flame-like filament of particles and X-ray light that astronomers have captured with #Chandra = Guitar Nebula.

X-rays from Chandra show a filament of energetic matter and antimatter particles, about two light-years long, blasting away from the pulsar.
