BLUE SUPERGIANT WIND
Before a
massive star
explodes, it ejects
a shell of matter in a blue
supergiant wind. This shell (illuminated by
home enhancements) surrounds the star in successively
stronger matter in uneven concentric partial rings which
grow more dense as more recent time approaches
the star source, the nature of the blow
being polar asymetrical, seen in
this instance, where matter
has blown both most
North and South

Stereo
reveals the
gas ring is cammed,
not a perfect circle, that is,
it is turned like a tamborine slightly
toward to the left and the tiny fingers of the ring
are all projecting in our direction but leftward, while, at
the same time, a large trail of excited smoky gas extends behind
into the distance to the left, indicating the star is slowly
drifting sideways, on a slightly inclined forward
vector toward us to the right
Basically,
think of this as a
tamborine with fingers sticking
up around the rim. Run a diagonal through
it from North/West to South/East, swing the diagonal
like a baton the top moving toward you the bottom away,
and see the tamborine shift into a full circular face
on display the fingers visible as extra bright
spots around the rim. This should give
you a perspective in seeing the lay
of the land as to how this oval
is sitting in space, and
moving through space,
I think. It may be
moving the
other way
Notice
that the
leaf shaped
flows of gas at
the top are curled
toward us and the flows
of gas at the bottom are curled
away, a telltale sign that one of the
star's forces effecting field vectors is a
positive attraction at one pole and a
negative opposite attraction
at the bottom
BLUE SUPERGIANT STAR

Red enhanced - reveals background rather than corona
A zoom into the original reveals rich details in the corona
A magnification of the original reveals no details at all
CRAB NEBULA IN X-RAY
Hexagrams riddling the Crab Nebula are scrutinized.
Here
is the Crab
Nebula in x-ray, by
Chandra. Enhancement can show
substantially more fine detail, and a
Histogram view can show a larger object in
seeming lower volume x-rays captured
by Chandra's false colored eyes.
X-rays cannot be seen, their
presence is always shown
in false colors but
true to form
At the
front (left),
dish disks arc in
forward thrusting horizon
planes, behind, center pulsar diskals
wrap vertically in distinct opposite polar
plane angle to the front forward arcing
disk lips. Actually, we see over
the forward edges, since the
forward edges are both
lower, and ahead of
the upper edges
in the rear
The
twists in
polar alignments
happen through the circular
ring hubs at long reach out on either
side of the pulsar, the circular left hub facing
down, the circular right hub facing up. This fundamdamental
4-way polarized arrangement is reminiscent of the
'cigar'. Bi-lateral
symmetry continues with the front woggle toggling
down to the right, a rear thin string tail
bending up and to the left. Every
feature has an opposite
feature at a
different
horizon plane each
having an asymmetric prime angle
A serious
theoretical question
is if it is possible to determine or
predict in advance which is up, which is down, which
becomes left, which becomes right, which will be
horizontal, which will be vertical, in
studying such pulsars
Crab Nebula
and the Vela supernova
remnants, very similar, picture located
near the end of a Chandra Crab
page
These
Crab optical
light views show the
same jogged downthrusting bone
structure as seen in X-rays
See
how well
the topologies of
of this cigar apparition (name
unknown) is mirrored in the x-ray Crab above.
How many symmetry similarities can you
count between the two formations
(x-ray Crab and the 'cigar')

THE NAME OF THIS IS G11.2-0.3
Chandra
x-ray telescope
reveals neutron star with
strong x-ray glow in ancient super
nova. Enhancement by Greydon Moore
reveals red disks around the
central neutron star
Virtual 3D
(view images focused
together), reveals that the
blue x-ray band is an arc over the
center - a strong red disk at right angles
east from the x-ray arc - and the bright band
in the lower left is a hem like the rim of
a lamp shade, similar to bright hems
in the Catseye nebula
ORION AND PROPYLDS ONLY PART OF THE STORY
Chandra
x-ray in Orion
shows very hot stars,
enhancement by Greydon Moore
throws more light on proplyds and
migrating souls. The countour
lines are Chandra showing
expanded x-ray areas
around each star
Chandra
information
does not indicate
if blue concentric rills
are gravitics as from authentic
interference patterns around the stars, or
are these rills strictly telescope interference
(the 4-way star is strictly struts from the
telescope - standard interference
when a bright object
overwhelms
a telescope). The
rills enhanced above extend
conciderable distances in concentric
bands, and spokes radiating outward with amplified
rill ridges, suggesting the whole apparition is a major piece of
authentic special effects in the exciting existence of the star itself.
It is also not clear - in the Chandra press release information - if
the blue rills are from x-ray or the optical telescope image of
the background (is Chandra's input only the contours ?).
In either case the many contentric rills could
be merely chromatic abberation (bright
light wraps around edges upon
entering a small lens).
In the case of
x-rays it is
different
in that x-ray
detectors are like
geiger counters rather than
glass lenses therefore the chromatic
wrap would have to be as the x-rays enter chambers
