Amazing View: NASA Discovers 'Hand Of God' In Space

By Edward Richards | NASA

The US space agency Nasa's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has captured and released a new photograph of the pulsar wind nebula which looks like a giant hand and popularly known as the 'hand of God'.

There is a proper scientific reason due to which the pulsar glows in space. The 19 kilometres long pulsar spins around seven times in one second and with each spin it blows apart the particles, which gets in connection to the magnetic fields and results in glitter with X-rays.
The nebula which is 17,000 light-years away is powered by a dead, spinning star called PSR B1509-58. The pulsar is formed in such a way that it appears like a giant hand in space and the shape of hand is still a mystery to the scientists of NASA.

The Hongjun An of McGill University, Montreal, Canada told Nasa that it is yet not sure whether the hand formed in space in an optical illusion or not and further adds that it looks more like a fist. The picture was taken with the help of a telescope.
