Today i was looking at the APOD titled Super Nova Remnant Puppis A. It is incredible that the explosion is now over a light year in diameter which is a huge distance. The x ray imaging of the super nova shows an array of colors which looks absolutely beautiful in the picture. It is amazing how the light from the super nova should have reached Earth 3,700 years ago yet it is still appearing bright in the x ray imaging today. This shows how powerful these super novas are when a star's core collapses. These super novas are only one example of how this universe actually works.
It is mind blowing how big that explosion must have been
