Is this the Hand of God?

I heard a lot about this from Kyle (a friend) yesterday. Apparently, this pic above is the Hand of God. It was featured on a few post and I found it here on the NASA page.

Here is their description:

Nicknamed the "Hand of God," this object is called a pulsar wind nebula. It's powered by the leftover, dense core of a star that blew up in a supernova explosion. The stellar corpse, called PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short, is a pulsar: it rapidly spins around, seven times per second, firing out a particle wind into the material around it -- material that was ejected in the star's explosion. These particles are interacting with magnetic fields around the material, causing it to glow with X-rays. The result is a cloud that, in previous images, looked like an open hand. The pulsar itself can't be seen in this picture, but is located near the bright white spot.

Interesting.

NASA's Cutie - Bobak Ferdowsi

While everyone was watching Curiosity land on Mars, some of us were watching Bobak Ferdowsi. He is one of the leaders of this mission and he works inside the Spaceflight Operations Facility for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory at Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

That's a mouthful, but he's such a cutie.

Charles Bolden Could be the 1st African-American to head NASA

President Obama has picked Charles Bolden, a former shuttle commander to possibly head NASA.

Charles has vast experience in the field, flying four times into space and twice as shuttle commander.

Hopefully, Senate will confirm Charles, because if he is cleared, he would be the 1st black administrator of NASA and the 2nd astronaut to hold the position. This would be amazing, y'all. I hope Charles is chosen.
