An amazing new Nasa image captures the youngest pulsar ever found by scientists.

The pulsar - an ultra-dense chunk of a star leftover from its explosive death into a supernova - sits just 19,000 light years from Earth.

It provides our best look yet at the early stages of star death, a mysterious and violent process that scientists still don't fully understand.

This amazing image was taken by Nasa's Chandra X-ray Observatory. It shows Kes 75, an object 19,000 light years from Earth which scientist now believe contains the youngest pulsar ever found. Blue regions show high-energy X-rays created by winds of energetic matter and particles, while purple areas show the debris created by the supernova explosion
