NASA: The Amazing Image of the Remains of an Exploded Star

NASA veil crazy supernova

If you've ever been curious to see what the remains of an exploded star look like, well in the image below, published by NASA, you can see what is visible in the Veil Nebula. Those from NASA say that these would be the remains of a star that would have exploded 7000 years ago, and you can see how complex is what remains after such an event has in the universe, but this is not exactly a hard thing to believe.

NASA has very carefully monitored the Veil Nebula, and the image it reveals to us now is intended to show us that after the explosion of a star, traces still remain for very long periods of time. In this case, we are talking about 7000 years that have passed since that star exploded, according to NASA, and it is very possible that the remains will remain visible for an even longer period in that area of ​​the Milky Way.

NASA says that the star that exploded, i.e. turned into a supernova, left remnants that were visible much brighter than they are at the moment for earthlings. During the 7000 years, the remains have lost their brightness, so that now they can only be seen through a telescope that must be aimed at the respective area of ​​the Veil Nebula, which is exactly what NASA did to present us this image .

"Remainders of this kind are all that remain visible to a star in the Milky Way. About 7.000 years ago, that star exploded in a supernova that left the Veil Nebula. At the time, the expanding cloud was probably as bright as a crescent moon, remaining visible for weeks to people living at the dawn of recorded history. Today, the resulting supernova remnant, also known as the Cygnus Loop, has faded and is now visible only through a small telescope pointed at the Cygnus constellation. The remaining Veil Nebula is still physically huge, and even though it's about 1.400 light-years away, covers more than five times the size of the full Moon. The image shown is a six-image Hubble Space Telescope mosaic covering a span of only about two light-years, a tiny fraction of the expanding supernova remnant. In images of the complete Veil Nebula.”

NASA monitors the entire universe constantly, and images of this kind show us a part that many of us do not know, and we have no way of perceiving it in any other way. Of course, a long monitoring process is needed for NASA to be able to capture incredible images of this kind, but even when they show us, we see how many are still hidden in the universe at the moment.

NASA constantly presents images of this kind for all of humanity, and they help us to understand much better what is hidden in the entire universe.
