APOD 3.6

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
 the highest resolution version available.


The APOD I chose for this week from above depicts the lighthouse nebula. I chose it because we have been learning about nebulas in class and thought I might as well try to learn a few. This nebula was forms from the wind of a pulsar, rotating around with the speed of over 1000 km/second. This is something I found incredibily impressive.
