Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Chandra X-ray Image of E0102-72.3 with Scale Bar Scale bar = 4.4 arcsec. E0102-72 is a supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This galaxy is 190,000 light years from Earth. E0102-72, which is approximately a thousand years old, is believed to have resulted from the explosion of a massive star. Stretching across forty light years of space, the multi-million degree source resembles a flaming cosmic wheel.
