“One of the great wonders of the universe ❤️‍🔥”

Ibinahagi ng National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ang kamangha-manghang larawan ng supernova remnant na “SN 1006” na nasa 6,500 light-years umano ang layo mula sa Earth.

Sa isang Instagram post, inihayag ng NASA na pinagsasama ng imahen ng SN 1006 ang data mula sa kanilang Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) at Chandra X-ray Observatory. 

“The red, green, and blue elements reflect low, medium, and high energy X-rays. The IXPE data, which measure the polarization of the X-ray light, is show in purple in the upper left corner, with the addition of lines representing the outward movement of the remnant’s magnetic field,” paliwanag ng NASA sa naturang post.

“Researchers say the results show a connection between the magnetic fields and the remnants high-energy particle outflow. Mapping these magnetic field structures of supernova remnants at higher energies with enhanced detail and accuracy enables us to better understand the processes driving the acceleration of these particles,” dagdag pa nito.

Ayon pa sa NASA, matatagpuan ang SN 1006 sa Lupus constellation, kung saan 6,500 light-years umano ang layo nito mula sa Earth.

“It is the remains of a massive explosion which occurred with when two white dwarfs merged or when a white dwarf pulled too much mass from a companion star – creating what is thought to be the brightest stellar event recorded in history,” saad ng NASA.

Matatandaang kamakailan lamang naman ay ibinahagi ng NASA ang isang larawan ng "mala-painting" na formation ng ulap sa planetang Jupiter.
