Supernova Remnant
N49 - A supernova remnant located in the Large Magellanic Cloud
A supernova remnant (SNR) is a structure resulting from the explosion of a supernova.
A magnetar, visible near the top of the image, hurtles through the supernova debris cloud at a speed of 70,000 kilometers per hour.
A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. The magnetic field decay powers the emission of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma rays.
The blue blob on the far right appears to be moving at a speed of 7 million kilometers per hour. At that speed you could travel around the world in just 20 seconds!
N49 emits 10 times the Sun's total energy in X-rays alone.
