Supernova Remnant of Vela
#space #histroy #science #photography #cosmos The explosion is over, but the consequences continue. About eleven thousand years ago, a star in the constellation of Vela could be seen to explode, creating a strange point of light briefly visible to humans living near the beginning of recorded history. The outer layers of the star crashed into the interstellar medium, driving a shock wave that is still visible today. This image captures some of that filamentary and gigantic shock in visible light. As gas flies away from the detonated star, it decays and reacts with the interstellar medium, producing light in many different colors and energy bands. Remaining at the center of the Vela Supernova Remnant is a pulsar, a star as dense as nuclear matter that spins around more than ten times in a single second. Credit: CTIO, NOIRLab, DOF, NSE, AURA

Pay it forward today..
I had 7, 6th-grade boys come in while I was working and they wanted to order wings. They asked if they had enough money to cover 40 wings and pops. I looked around confused- wondering where their parents were. I asked if they were alone and they said yes and we’ve been looking forward to this for... read more
