According to reports, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found a fast-moving pulsar with a huge hit. It appears that the pulsar could have made a hole in a disk of gas around a star and has launched disk fragments at a speed of more than 6.4 million kilometres per hour.

According to NASA, Chandra was following the clump, and it is apparently accelerating as it is moving out.

The space agency said that PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 or B1259 in short, is the double star system that consists of a star approximately 30 times as huge as the Sun and a pulsar, which is a very dense neutron star that is left behind after an even more massive star went through a supernova explosion.

According to George Pavlov of Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania, lead author of a paper explaining the findings, "These two objects are in an unusual cosmic arrangement and have given us a chance to witness something special. As the pulsar moved through the disk, it appears that it punched a clump of material out and flung it away into space".

According to NASA, the clump spans approximately a hundred times the size of Earth’s Solar System, however it's somewhat thin. As per the agency, the material present in it has the mass equal to the amount of water present in Earth's oceans.It has been shown by three observations from Chandra that the clump is moving away from B1259 at more speed.
