English: Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have created a stunning new image of one of the youngest supernova remnants in the galaxy. This new view of the debris of an exploded star helps astronomers solve a long-standing mystery, with implications for understanding how a star's life can end catastrophically and for gauging the expansion of the universe.
Images from NASA are usually in the public domain.
Chandra's latest image marks a new phase in understanding the object now known as Kepler's supernova remnant. By combining nearly nine days of Chandra observations, astronomers have generated an X-ray image with unprecedented detail of one of the brightest recorded supernovas in the Milky Way galaxy. Credit: NASA/CXC/NCSU/S.Reynolds et al. Image is 5 arcmin across. RA 17h 30m 40.80s | Dec -21° 29' 11.00" 6 observations between April - August 2006 for 8.7 days. Energy (Red: low energy; Yellow/Green: medium energy; Blue: high energy). SN 1604, G004.5+06.8, V 843 Ophiuchi. About 13,000 light years.

Irudiaren izenburua
A long Chandra observation of the Kepler supernova remnant provides unprecedented detail of one of the youngest supernovas in the Galaxy. Studying the debris of this exploded star helps in the understanding of how a star's life can end catastrophically. Red in this image shows material heated by the explosion, while yellow and green depict different elements in the ejecta. Blue represents the highest-energy X-rays and shows a shock front generated by the supernova explosion.
