![030-Crab-Pulsar [030] Crab Pulsar — This illustration represents a pulsar, the rapidly rotating neutron star at the center of the Crab Nebula. The scene visualizes the intense magnetic field lines emerging from the stellar remnant, with relativistic particles tracing complex paths along the magnetosphere. A surrounding shell of ionized gas suggests the pulsar wind nebula environment created by the energetic emission of the central object..
