      <![CDATA[The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a picture of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1073, which is found in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster). Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a similar barred spiral, and the study of galaxies such as NGC 1073 helps astronomers learn more about our celestial home.]]>

    <title>INTEGRAL:INTEGRAL reveals new facets of the Vela pulsar wind nebula</title>
    <link>

    <description>
      <![CDATA[Astronomers studying the Vela pulsar wind nebula with ESA&apos;s INTEGRAL observatory have successfully resolved its morphology in the hard X-ray band, for the first time. This pulsar-powered nebula is the most extended individual source yet observed at these energies. The study exploited a special imaging technique to reveal a new component of the source that likely consists of highly energetic electrons that have escaped from the core of the nebula in the last few thousand years.]]>
