"The primary merit for the picture is to be a feast for the eyes." Delacroix “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." –Dr. Albert Einstein "Wonder is comes from the awareness of ignorance of religious mass"

The remains of a supernova explosion form complex loops and filaments in this combined optical and X-ray image. N49, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small companion galaxy to the Milky Way, exploded about 5,000 years ago as seen from Earth. Today, it consists of a crushed stellar remnant known as a neutron star and a rapidly expanding cloud of hot gas. The X-ray observations (blue), by Chandra X-Ray Observatory, reveal a "bullet" of gas to the lower right of the nebula. The bullet, which was ejected in the explosion, is traveling at about 5 million miles per hour, suggesting that the explosion was lopsided, so material didn't expand evenly in all directions.
