As regular readers of New Frontier News know, outer space is essentially large stretches of nothing studded with beautiful things that are trying to kill you. This is especially true in the case of stars.
All forms of stellar phenomena are impressive, but for many of us the most mind boggling are supernovas. This is because regular novas are boring and hypernovas are trying too hard. Also, supernovas make gold. Really. All gold, anywhere, was born in the flaming heart of a supernova.
Below you’ll find some of the most dazzlingly beautiful (and deadly) pieces of eye candy humanity has ever found.
As always with astronomical images featured on New Frontier News, please click to embiggen.
Supernova Survivor
This artist’s depiction shows a double star system. The star on the left is a red supergiant that’s making boom boom, after having transferred about 10 solar masses of hydrogen to its blue companion. The blue star was the first supernova survivor ever found.

Kepler’s Remnant
This is a composite image compiled by three space telescopes; Chandra (X-rays), Hubble (visible light), and Spitzer (infrared). There’s actually some history behind this image. Four hundred years ago, astronomer Johannes Kepler got the living crap surprised out of him by a new star in the sky. The telescope hadn’t been invented yet, so Kepler and his astronomer buddies had to observe it with the naked eye, and were deprived of the awesome power and beauty we see below. In your face, Kepler! Telescopes were invented about four years later, but they still wouldn’t have shown Kepler anything like the image below.

Crab Nebula Supernova Remnant
The Crab Nebula is all that’s left of a massive star that blew up about 7,500 years ago. The light from that explosion showed up on Earth in 1054 AD, and was noted by Chinese astronomers. They also didn’t have telescopes (please see above re: Kepler, getting in the face of).

Stellar Debris in the Large Magellanic Cloud
This is a composite image of debris left by the explosion of a supernova remnant called N49. It’s in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the smaller galaxies that hang around our galaxy in the hopes that this will make them look cool. N49 has the distinction of being the brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, at least as far as visible light is concerned.

Cygnus Loop Supernova Blast Wave
This shows a small part of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. It’s essentially the leading edge of an expanding blast wave from a supernova that occurred about 15,000 years ago which marks the edge of a bubble-like, expanding blast wave.

The Big Ring
This is supernova remnant SNR0103-72.6, observed by the Chanda X-ray Observatory. That ring around the edge is about 150 light-years in diameter. This explosion occurred about 200,000 years ago, or 194,000 earlier than the date creationists give for the Garden of Eden’s Grand Opening.

Thanks for reading, and remember: Just because it’s beautiful doesn’t mean it isn’t deadly.
