Special image or animation created based on data from NASA’s Chandra Space Telescope IFLScience. The motion of a supernova explosion can be taken from the picture. Experts used information collected in 2004, 2008, 2017, and 2018 to create the image.
Shock wave motion is also seen at one of the “fingertips”. The explosion spreads 14.5 million kilometers per hour, while some remnants of the destroyed star lag behind.
It is about the hand of the soul, i.e. MSH 15-52 a study Based on the shock wave that has slowed down a lot in recent years. This is probably due to the gas cloud RCW 89, which is colliding with it. MSH 15-52 was first able to travel through a low-density medium that formed when the supernova-forming star removed its outer layer. When the wreck hit the RCW 89, it slowed down.
It is estimated that the light from the supernova reached Earth about 1,700 years ago, and in astronomical terms, MSH 15-52 is a very young supernova remnant. When the star exploded, it left behind a rapidly rotating neutron star called a pulsar. The object was formed by the phantom structure of a very dense object with an extremely strong magnetic field.
