A Neutron Star Releases Blue Energy In A Distant Galaxy On Your iPhone



Magnetic Star Quake Releasing A Blue Wave Of Energy


The image of a bright white neutron star in the center flaring up in a distant galaxy in December 2004, releasing a wave of energy, shown as a ring of blue spreading outwards in a background of stars, the result of a twisting magnetic field inside the star, trillions of times more powerful than any magnet on earth. This kind of star is called a magnetar. A cool image for your iPhone 3G or Verizon and ATT compatible iPhone case.

The image is from the NASA Johnson Space Center Collection and is in the public domain. Fully customizable and easy to personalize.
