The supernova hurled much of the star's material into space, creating a shell of debris that continues to expand even today.\n\nThis supernova remnant (officially known as SN 1006) is roughly the size of the full moon in Earth's sky, but most of its shell only shows up with radio or X-ray vision — not visible light. This image combines data across a number of frequencies, collected by @nasahubble, @nasachandraxray, and several Earth-based telescopes.\n\n#NASA #Space #NightSky",
