An international team of space scientists has imaged the magnetic field that exists in the acceleration zone of the Vela pulsar. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes how they used data from NASA's Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission to obtain indirect imaging of the nebula's magnetic field. Samar Safi-Harb, with the University of Manitoba, has published a News and Views piece in the same journal issue, explaining the background history of the study of...
