A good deed gone horribly wrong.....

In this video we see a guy freeing a mouse that has been keeping him up at night.

Video of Neutron star blasting away

This is nature at it`s most raw, watch as this neutron star blast matter and energy from its poles. At the center of the Vela supernova remnant is a madly spinning neutron star. It spins *11 times per second*, which helps it whip up a magnetic field so fierce it can actually defy the gravity of the star, which is a billion times stronger than Earth's!

All of this help it generate two beams of matter and energy that blast away from its poles. Recent observations of this beam show that it appears to be wobbly, making a corkscrew motion over a period of 120 days. This movie is made from 8 images of the pulsar and its weird beam taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory
