“Supernova Remnants Big and Small” is copyrighted by Stéphane Vetter (Nuits sacrées). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteWhen a massive star explodes, it creates a supernova remnant: a huge fireball of hot gas expanding outwards. This image shows two such remnants, SNR G179.0+02.6 and SNR G189.1+03.0. The gas glows as it slams into the existing interstellar medium, heating up to extreme temperatures.
