Supernova Remnant N132D in X-Rays

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Thousands of years after a star explodes, an expanding remnant may still glow brightly. Such is the case with N132D, a supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The expanding shell from this explosion now spans 80 light-years and has swept up about 600 Suns' worth of mass. Bright regions in this X-ray image result from a collision with an even more massive molecular cloud.
