Supernova Remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 Wall Art including Frame Sizes:MEDIUM (20x30) Credits: NASA/JPL-CALTECHFeatured in this Hubble image is an expanding, gaseous corpse a supernova remnant known as 1E 0102. 2 7219. It is the remnant of a star that exploded long ago in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way located roughly 200 000 light years away. Because the gaseous knots in this supernova remnant are moving at different speeds and directions from the supernova explosion, those moving toward Earth are colored blue in this
