Supernova Collection (#5)

Computer artwork of a supernova explosion
Supernova. Computer artwork of a star exploding as a supernova. A supernova occurs when a star of more than a few solar masses runs out of nuclear fuel in its core

Simeis 147 supernova remnant, optical image. The glowing filaments of gas and dust are the remains of a supernova explosion, or explosive death of a large star

Supernova in galaxy NGC 1300
Supernova. Computer artwork of a supernova (pink) in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300. A supernova is the explosive death of a star, which for a short while can outshine an entire galaxy
