DescriptionGamma crab.gif	English: What if you could "see" in gamma-rays? If you could, these two spinning neutron stars or pulsars would be among the brightest objects in the sky. This computer processed image shows the Crab Nebula pulsar (below and right of center) and the Geminga pulsar (above and left of center) in the "light" of gamma-rays. Gamma-ray photons are more than 10,000 times more energetic than visible light photons and are blocked from the Earths's surface by the atmosphere. This image was produced by the high energy gamma-ray telescope "EGRET" on board NASA's orbiting Compton Observatory satellite. Polski: Geminga (z lewej) i pulsar znajdujący się wewnątrz Mgławicy Kraba (z prawej). Zdjęcie wykonane w zakresie promieniowania Gamma przez Teleskop kosmiczny Comptona.
