[edit]DescriptionKepler 420.jpg |
English: Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have created a stunning new image of one of the youngest supernova remnants in the galaxy. This new view of the debris of an exploded star helps astronomers solve a long-standing mystery, with implications for understanding how a star's life can end catastrophically and for gauging the expansion of the universe. |

Chandra's latest image marks a new phase in understanding the object now known as Kepler's supernova remnant. By combining nearly nine days of Chandra observations, astronomers have generated an X-ray image with unprecedented detail of one of the brightest recorded supernovas in the Milky Way galaxy. Credit: NASA/CXC/NCSU/S.Reynolds et al. Image is 5 arcmin across. RA 17h 30m 40.80s | Dec -21° 29' 11.00" 6 observations between April - August 2006 for 8.7 days. Energy (Red: low energy; Yellow/Green: medium energy; Blue: high energy). SN 1604, G004.5+06.8, V 843 Ophiuchi. About 13,000 light years.
