Supernova 1987A remnant. Composite image showing the remnant of Supernova 1987A,seen in light of different wavelengths. Data from the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA,red) shows newly formed dust in the centre of the remnant. Optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST,green) and X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue) show where the expanding shock wave is colliding with a ring of material around the supernova. This ring was initially lit up by the ultraviolet flash from the original explosion,but over the past few years the ring material has brightened considerably as it collides with the expanding shockwave | |
