SNR 0103-72.6: Oxygen Supply
A supernova explosion blasts debris enriched in heavy elements back into space, which are then incorporated into future stars and planets. This false-color X-ray image shows SNR 0103-72.6, an expanding debris cloud in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The measured size of its outer ring indicates how much oxygen it has supplied to its galaxy.
