Judy Schmidt has combined this with Spitzer/WISE infrared data to produce the following image, and has added annotations for some of the more prominent structures (mostly the radio arc and supernova remnants in the galactic centre direction) : https://www.flickr.com/photos/geckzilla/51854563587/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/geckzilla/51854563587/ and the deep link (9144 x 5964, but no annotations) for people who have trouble with flickr's UI: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854563587_4446b5cd40_o_d.png https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854563587_4446b5cd40_o...

I think I need to print that out, that’s wild. I’ll have to get on my desktop because that site is hilariously useless on my mobile.

Wild. Letting my imagination run free, there's something in the radio data, second poof from the bottom, that looks like... a contrail? That's not right, but what is that thing?

  I think you are looking at the Mouse Pulsar Wind Nebula ("PWN"). Prettier X-ray and radio pictures, and animations : https://www.chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2004/mouse/index.html https://www.chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2004/mouse/index.html A recent summary: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...861....5K/abstract https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...861....5K/abstra... ("famous for its spectacular tail"). There is a link to the arxiv preprint below the abstract. Lots and lots of additional papers about The Mouse, with its conspicuously long tail, PWN G359.23-0.82, driven by its Vela-like pulsar J1747-2958. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Heartbeat-of-the-Mouse%3A-A-Young-Radio-Pulsar-with-Camilo-Manchester/9d90e9a866d465bec0694dbed3bb8429c5c47660 https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Heartbeat-of-the-Mouse...
