A Neutron Star With A Disk Of Warm Dust. Post-it Notes
- from our Affiliates
This illustration shows a neutron star (RX J0806.4-4123) with a disk of warm dust that produces an infrared signature as detected by the Hubble Space Telescope. The disk wasn't directly photographed, but one way to explain the data is by hypothesizing a disk structure that could be 18 billion miles across. The disk would be made up of material falling back onto the neutron star after the supernova explosion that created the stellar remnant.
