Energetic Remnant
November 9, 2013
G266.2-1.2 was
produced by the explosion of a massive star in the Milky Way galaxy. A
Chandra observation of this supernova remnant reveals the presence of
extremely high-energy particles produced as the shock wave from this
explosion expands into interstellar space. In this image, the X-rays
from Chandra (purple) have been combined with optical data from the
Digitized Sky Survey (red, green, and blue).
