I have added the following to Supernova Remnants under "Other Nebulae":

>>One quite remarkable-looking supernova remnant is a pulsar wind nebula, which is only visible to us thanks to the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The 'Hand of God' (as it has been nicknamed) is the stellar matter which once belonged to a massive star, now a pulsar catalogued PSR B1509-58. <<
