Hubble telescope captures supernova blast wave; NASA shares pic

NASA has released a picture of a small section of a Cygnus supernova blast wave, located around 2,400 light-years away, captured by the Hubble telescope. The original supernova explosion blasted apart a dying star about 20 times more massive than our Sun between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. Since then, the remnant has expanded 60 light-years from its centre.
