Supernova Remnant N49 is, in optical light, the brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way Galaxy. To visible-light observatories, N49 appears to have a unique, lopsided filamentary structure which has long puzzled scientists because most supernova remnants appear spherical in shape. picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago tags nasa space galaxy supernova observatory astronomy |
