“Puppis A Supernova Remnant” is copyrighted by Don Goldman. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's sitePuppis A is a supernova remnant about 7,000 light-years away. The explosion of a massive star created this expanding cloud of gas, which glows in different colors. Oxygen atoms shine green-blue, while hydrogen and nitrogen appear red. The entire structure is about 60 light-years across.
