Celestial Bauble (SNR B0509-67.5) Wall Art including Frame Sizes:MEDIUM (20x30) Ripples in the shell’s surface

Ripples in the shell’s surface may be caused either by subtle variations in the density of the ambient interstellar gas

These observations were then combined with visible-light images of the surrounding star field that were imaged with Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 on 4 November 2010

Celestial Bauble (SNR B0509-67.5) Wall Art including Frame Sizes:MEDIUM (20x30) Ripples in the shell’s surfaceThis delicate shell, photographed by the NASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope, appears to float serenely in the depths of space, but this apparent calm hides an inner turmoil. The gaseous envelope formed as the expanding blast wave and ejected material from a supernova tore through the nearby interstellar medium. Called SNR B0509 67. 5 (or SNR 0509 for short), the bubble is the visible remnant of a powerful stellar explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud
