Three Years After Stellar Outburst Wall Art Size:16 x 16 this image from the NASA/ESA

this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope actually depicts a small section of the Cygnus supernova blast wave

most of them not seen in visible light pictures

Very active star-formation is most likely also occurring in the nuclear regions of NGC 3627

almost as large as Earth

and thus the total number of data points (pixels) of the 14 CCD frames used to make this photo is almost 10 9

Three Years After Stellar Outburst Wall Art Size:16 x 16 this image from the NASA/ESAThe Hubble Space Telescope's latest image of the star V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) reveals dramatic changes in the illumination of surrounding dusty cloud structures. The effect, called a light echo, has been unveiling never before seen dust patterns ever since the star suddenly brightened for several weeks in early 2002.
