– Recently, NASA has shared an image of the Vela pulsar wind nebula using imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE).

– The space organization indicated the significance of pink X-ray "arcs," which are believed to mark the edges of "donut-shaped" regions where the pulsar wind shocks and accelerates high-energy particles.

– A recent study by the organization revealed the high degree of polarisation showed in the X-rays of the Vela pulsar wind nebula.

The scientists of the space agency have explained the unprecedented theory of how a cosmic object like a pulsar accelerates particles to high speeds.

– According to the study, high polarisation is a phenomenon where the electromagnetic fields remain in an organized manner; they are lined up in specific directions and depend on their position in the nebula.
